Snow

*Acrostic*

Softly fluttering to the ground

New blankets coating the tiny town

Opening worlds of adventure

Wonders await

Author's Note

Simple poem inspired by the sights outside my window.

Short and accurate! Such are the wonders of snow. And haven't you guys had a hell of a snow season!? Those snowstorms have been plastered all over our news downunder.

The simplicity of the acrostic is suited to the words used. A perfect style to ease back into the poetic writing frame of mind.

Nicely conceived, Clifford.

Oh, yes. We have mountains of snow. It's very inconvenient, not to mention messy, but there is beauty in the snow-covered trees and massive snowbanks. Thanks for reading, Doodley.

I remember when I was younger and there was always alot of snow. Now, a few years later we rarely get snow before christmas. I live in Wisconsin and today it was in the 40s!

[Jacob Clifford]

It was much the same here, in Minnesota. Christmas was hardly white at all, but in the days since, we've gotten about two feet of snow. Tis the season, to be sure.

I go to minnesota every year for thanksgiving and there used to be tons of snow by that time, but I haven't seen snow in minnesota since I was 13. No complaints, though. Snow is too slippery and cold.

Reminds me of my hometown in Michigan where it never stopped snowing. Also lived in Fargo for a while. Thanks for the memories and happy new year!

[Jacob Clifford]

I lived next to Fargo, in Moorhead, for college, but I've lived in Minnesota my whole life. I couldn't imagine living without snow. Thank you for reading, and happy New Year to you as well!

Oh, no doubt! Snow sure is destructive. I suppose most fun things can be. Thanks for reading.

Hot chocolate on the stove, and my bobsled is ready.

[Jacob Clifford]

Wonderful way to spend the season! Thanks for reading.

Great poem! Too bad I hate snow!

[Jacob Clifford]

Many people share your hatred of snow. Myself, I like it more in theory than in practice. I enjoy fantasizing about winter-time merriment, but when the cold stuff is actually upon us, I do little to take advantage of it, spending my time instead by complaining about the cold. Snow sure is pretty, at least. Thanks for reading!

[NotUsinganymore]

It is pretty but freezing cold hhaa I am the one who complains it's cold all the time!

I was never fortune with snow from my window view by far...but who can stop the horse of imagination!
This poem is short and happy....am saying what I felt after reading this...how pleasurable might be a soft snowy morning!! Nice read..thanksforsharing☺

[Jacob Clifford]

Thanks for reading! During this past winter, I grew weary of how long the season was and wished for warmer weather. Now that it's summer, I miss winter!

[¿]

Me too!! You're welcome☺

I like winter, too. There's so much disruptive about it, but it's always the first season I go to when I think of beauty. Thank you for reading.

Ooh this is lovely Clifford! Short, sweet and quite clever. And each line describes the effects of snow aptly. Well done. Keep writing!

Thank you for reading and for your support.

Reminds me of experiencing snow with the innocence of childhood.

[Jacob Clifford]

Thank you, Cadel. There's nothing quite like winter for a child.
