snow SNow SNOW
wait . . .
its not even thanksgiving yet

friday before break
a snowball fight on the way home
from class

silent night
the snow gathers
all for the madrigal

one of a kind
snowflake
in her hair

Rockefeller Center
snowflakes fall
on the skaters

three inches overnight
no snow days
at college

snow angels in the yard
one less
than last year

winter wonderland
I shake the snow
from my daughter’s hair

snowballs stacked
like a cheerleading pyramid
let the game begin

winter night
the newlyweds watch
their first snow

“SNOWFLAKES!”
snarled at the protesters
fighting for human rights

instead of playing fortnite
we make a snow fort
chilled winter night

first snowman
knocked over by teens
jerks

building a snowman
we have to
top the neighbors’

the first snow
i can't wait to wear
my new mittens

first snow
mittens warm my hands
instead of yours

evening snowfall
in the quiet
we hold mittens

church steps
untouched snow
leads the way

snow bank
against my house
next to the field

can't tell which is brighter
twinkling night sky
twinkling new snow

winter trail
just past the streambed
fox tracks

WAIT
that snow
it's yellow

snowfall
I take a breath
as you hold my gloved hand

dog shakes
the snow
caught in fur

“snow is so pretty”
what’s wrong with
a snow globe

in my hair
a crown of snowflakes
“I'm a snow princess”

evening stroll
looking up to see
the first snow

SpLaT!
a snowball
and a giggling group of boys

walking down the street
WHACK
I return the friendly
snow-fire

sitting in the car with
no heat—
just you, me,
and the falling snow

we wake to snow
and together
we groan

I pull back the curtain
a bright white blanket
makes me smile

baby sister
a snowflake sits
in her tiny mitten

gently caressing
each snowflake
moonlight

underwear and boots
lovers kiss under
snowfall

after the snowfall
doing donuts
in the mall parking lot

snowy night
moonlight reflected
in big brown eyes

fresh snow
glittering
in the moonlight

first snow
suppressing the memory
last year’s accident

blinking slowly
not to disturb
the eyelash snowflake

snow-caked
heels click together
there’s no place like home

*CRUNCH*
my favorite part of winter
boot print in fresh snow

soft jazz
giant snowflakes
line Beale Street

wishing snow
could cure
my blues

grandma loved
christmas snow
the big flakes

first snow
hearing about school closures
on my way to class

outdoor recess
the children catch snowflakes
on their tongues

no school
celebrating
with snow cream

foot prints
a day in the life
of the deer

snowfall
too late for
a white Christmas

snow day
my red nose
doesn’t glow

powdery snowfall
little hands forming
snowballs

snowy parking lot
raccoon raccoon and kitten
eating a churro

snow fall
has me dancing
and twirling to a new tune

Tony Montana
snow quickly
disappears

the field is silenced
by snowfall
3 deer

dawnbreak
my dog stains the snow
a yellowish-gold

nursing home
caroling and hot cider
it’s a wonder Life

twisting and turning
out of the snowsuit
red cheeks

snow day
another day to
study for my math test
