moonless night
enough light
beneath my boots

watching the snow through
steam from my coffee mug:
Peace. Warmth. Security

holiday snowman
gets fat
in the falling snow

Donna Hyland (3)

mittens on
watching out the window
for one snowflake

Megan Alwardt (6)

snowshoes
. . . a path that leads to
the old cabin

Charla Bond (4)

undisturbed snow
by the side of the road
five blackbirds

Maria Clark (3)

we stop talking
to watch
snowflakes dance

Marlene Gardner (2)

mouth open wide
full belly
snowflakes

Megan Alwardt (2)

hands clenched
on the wheel
Texan’s first snow

late evening snow
on the drive home
the road ahead disappears

Starr Dawkins (3)

children holding hands
as they cautiously ice skate
in their tennis shoes

frozen lake
swoosh . . . swoosh
blades cut the ice

all in a pile
ready for battle
snowball fight

Mickey Hvrol (6)

alone in the classroom
snow piling up
so is the homework

Donna Hyland (5)

the sky above
drops cotton balls
one by one

Susan Love

each snowflake
melts as it touches the ground
New Year’s resolutions

Starr Dawkins (3)

first deep snow
two pink boots visible
from the half-dug tunnel

Starr Dawkins (6)

Sunday morning—
after clearing the snow
she puts her new boots on

Maria Clark (3)

wet jackets and mittens
piled on the radiator
snow day.

first fallen snow
fine and unpackable.
upset child

Brooke Weemer (2)

white ornaments
of snow
. . . hang from the pine
