Winter Snows

The first snow of the year


Mud, wind and biting cold at 5 AM


And…on a Monday to boot!


I am not ready for this


The work is still there-just harder


 


 


Saturday, A morning to sleep in


At 7 I stumble into my work clothes


Eyes half open, coffee in hand


Boots finally on, I step outside the door


Suddenly, I am awake


 


The second snow lay before me


New flakes falling on the pristine white blanket


The snow-fall silence of morning is broken


By only the whisper-soft nicker of hungry horses


This…this is the magic

Oh, I wish I could be there. Suddenly, I miss my grandma's farm in upstate New York.

I completely agree, Karen. Snow has a magical influence on the world it lands on. We're on the same page it seems. Thank you. Love and peace,

I like this. We have icvy wind today in northern New Mexico. The kind that makes houses cold despite the heat.

Great poem to give you the feel of waking up in the morning to a white world. The snow poems I read make me appreciate this Florida sunshine.
