Snow

I love the snow
It dampens the noise
makes the streets glow,
Brings joy to my heart,
Increases my blood flow.
Keeps me on my toes,
So as not to lose control.
To not fall flat on my arse,
And break any bones.

I love the snow,
Mad dinner tray riding,
Sliding down slopes,
Skidding down in tandem,
Holding onto my kid,
Who screams very loud,
So very excited.
We crash at bottom,
falling apart at the seams,
Bright rosie faced cheeks,
“Race you to the top!”

I love the snow,
Sprinkling my dog,
With flakes, he doesn’t know,
Unsure of what to do,
Shake them off?
Looking confused,
Why are they disappearing
and re-appearing?
Think he’ll chase one or two,
Something fun for him to do!
