Snowfall

Contest entry for July 2018, Christmas in July Poetry Contest

Heavy snow clouds fill the sky.
Pretty soon the flakes will fly
Over field and city, here and there,
They’ll cover just about everywhere!

Frozen statues in the park
Will look like dragons in the dark!
And drifts of snow mount up so high
You’d think that we could touch the sky!

Excitement fills the children’s hearts
With skis and skates and snowman parts
And sleigh rides over snow bound hills-
No fancy or un-needed frills.

Hours spent in happy play
Will follow new snow’s first birthday.
Laughing voices celebrate,
Hurry snowfall, we can’t wait!
