A Crystal of Snow
M. Lucille Ford
A crystal of snow is a wonderful thing
With texture as fine as a butterfly's wing;
With network of atoms like filmy spun lace,
Or petal arrangement of air flower face.
A crystal of snow is a beautiful thing
With the sparkle of drops what to spiders' webs cling
On a bright dewy morn; and the luster of pearl;
Or a diamond gleam on a glistening curl.
A crystal of snow is a curious thing-
With dew of summer - or rain of spring-
And frost of autumn mixed into it all
The flowers of cloudland that earthward do fall.
What is Snow?
Penny Carter
If there are some water drops
Falling through the air,
And the temperature is low,
Snow will soon be there.
Every snowflake has six sides.
Next I'll tell you that
Some of them have pointy ends
While other ends are flat.
Look them over carefully;
I'm sure that you will see,
Every one looks different
Just like you and me!
Winter Night
ClaudeWeimer
Winter winds are blowing,
Snow is drifting deep;
Cuddled under cover,
Earth has gone to sleep.
Cozy in their houses
Little children stay,
Where bright fires are burning
To keep the cold away.
Snug in caves and burrows
Wild things safe are curled,
While the feet of winter
Tramp across the world.
Snowfall
Margaret Hillert
Someone in the sky last night
Had an awful pillow fight,
And when I woke today I found
All the feathers on the ground.
Snowy Benches
Aileen Fisher
Do parks get lonely
in winter, perhaps,
when benches have only
snow in their laps?
Winter Poem
Nikki Giovanni
once a snowflake fell
on my brow and i loved
it so much and i kissed
it and it was happy and called its cousins
and brothers and a web
of snow engulfed me then
i reached to love them all
and i squeezed them and they became
a spring rain and i stood perfectly
still and was a flower.
Runny Nose
Kay Winters
It's just not funny
When your nose is runny;
You feel all soggy,
Hoarse and froggy.
Your throat is scratching;
The germs are hatching.
You know it's catching~
KERCHOOO!
Snowy Sidewalk
Mabel Pool
We watched our walk fill up with snow.
It looked so soft and smooth!
And then the paper boy rode by
And gave our walk a groove!
January
In January
it's so nice
while slipping
on the sliding ice
to sip hot chicken soup
with rice.
Sipping once
sipping twice
sipping chicken soup
with rice.
Thumbs in the Thumb - Place
Thumbs in the thumb - place
Fingers all together!
This is the song
We sing in mitten - weather.
When it is cold,
It doesn't matter whether
Mittens are wool,
Or made of finest leather.
This is the song
We sing in mitten - weather:
Thumbs in the thumb - place
Fingers all together.
Snow
Snow makes whiteness where it falls,
The bushes look like popcorn balls,
And places where I always play,
Look like somewhere else today.
Snow
The snow fell softly all the night
It made a blanket soft and white.
It covered houses, flowers and ground,
But it didn't make a single sound!
Winter Birds
I can't go visit a snowbird -
I don't know where he stays.
I can't go visit a chickadee -
He has such flitty ways.
I can't go visit a blue jay
Atop a snowy tree,
And so I scatter seeds around
And have them visit ME.
How to Talk to Your Snowman
By: Beverly McLoughland
Use words that are pleasing,
Like: freezing
And snow,
Iceberg and igloo
And blizzard and blow,
Try: Arctic, Antarctic,
Say: shiver and shake,
But whatever you never say,
Never say: Bake.
