feather flakes of white
gently floating
lazily spiraling
dizzly falling
drifting down to the ground
not much accumulation
but ohhhhh...so much fun!!
and i am free to be a kid again
remembering snowfalls of my youth
in north central ohio
trying to recapture the magic i felt
as a kid in ohio
now living in north central texas
i want to get out IN it
i want to be a part OF it
raising my face to the sky
watching the snowflakes
gently floating
lazily spiraling
dizzily falling
hypnotized by the beauty of it all
trying to catch snowflakes
on my tongue in my mouth
laughing when i miss
and laughing when i trip over my feet
because i'm not watching where i'm walking
and the snowflakes go up my nose
tickling my face
that one went behind my glasses
my brunette hair suddenly has turned white
making me an instant senior citizen
but who cares i don't
the snowfall makes me feel like a child
i hope it continues
maybe then i can build a snowman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
it actually is snowing in north central texas! big ol' fat flakes...
it doesn't snow much here...if we get an inch of snowfall in the winter, we think it's something.
This reminded me of the snowfall we had when I was about six and my cousin dion was up from San Diego, he was about sixteen at the time, I remember him building a huge snowman, a rare treat in California.
God Bless

Good romance with the snow up there is north TX Karla. I'm happy for you. I'm in SW TX and we got cold rain today, but I did have snow this winter when I went back home to St. Louis, it snowed 4 1/2 " on Christmas Eve and it brought back lots of memories. Thank you for sharing your joy with us, Karla. Good write.
:) I am so damn happy for you two drifting, spiraling, tripping, laughing, catching, feeling, believing and loving your snow, karla, and you, karen, twin snow angels extraordinaire!! Being an Arizonian, who grew up in Wisconsin, I know the joy and upliftance in the scarce, child-like reverance of SNOW!!! :D
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Karla,
Glad you got to be like a kid again. Great write.
lol Karla, Yes it is snowing in Texas! It may not be accumilating where you are but it certainly is where I am! I'm just glad tomorrow is going to be 51 degrees and it will all be gone before the Tx nuts kill themselves on the roadways. They can't drive in this stuff you know! But just for you I'm glad you got some of this fluffy white stuff,,,great write Karla,,Lisa
