For me, it doesn't matter at all!
Forever I wish the snow would fall.
Piles and piles, seven feet tall
Never, have I ever felt so small
Snow can make the darkest night
Into a world bright with light
I walk home while its snowing
Snowmen and snowforts growing
The children are screaming
Hot cocoa is steamjng
By the time I get home, l know
I will always love the snow!
Elisabeth Wingle
I am reading the poems of Elisabeth. I am thoroughly entertained. I never had the nerve to write a poem until my late fifties and that was about a trip to England. It was in doggerel form. Good for you. My daughter keeps close watch on her elderly parents. She is now the strength of many. My son waited until almost fifty to start his family but she is magnificent. I am a snow lover as well.
I ❤️ This! Your 12 yr old self is wise... I have the same reaction in my 40's... Snow brings shoveling and work, car accidents, a dirty house, a wet dog, increased risk of stroke and falling, higher heating bills, etc.. But really... It is a beautiful wonder of nature that brings snowmen, forts, beauty, light, hot chocolate, and a fiery hearth! :)
Thank you for the review! You must live close to me because you described winter in northeast Ohio PERFECTLY! !
