Evergreen Street Poem by Lee Degnan

Brisk winter air, so cold!
and the sound
of a million snowflakes
hitting the ground,
Never had I seen it
snow so hard
as we got ready
to play in the front yard
Headed straight to where
the plows made dunes,
cutting out alleyways and
cozy little rooms...
Soon dunes became castles,
pristine and white,
Two sister princesses
and one brother knight....

But my favorite part
out of it all-
Evergreen Street,
to watch the snow fall!
My father would pile us
all in his car,
his little Volkswagen,
it wasn't very far
Plowing through this street
making our lone tracks,
branches come out at us
like reindeer antler racks
Evergreens surrounded us
as we drove in further
heavy snow weighted them
like a canopy of winter
Beautiful and sparkling, surreal to
the rest of the world,
made coming here a favorite
to this little girl....
