We had about 6 to 10 inches of snow in our city last
night. The snow had covered everything and it was a beautiful sight this
morning. The temperature remained mostly below freezing throughout the day
giving no chance for the snow to melt. People played in the
snow the whole day. What looked like a fine blanket in the morning now looks
like a heap of dirt.
It looked like a blanket with tangled weaves,
The barren trees now filled with white flowers
and leaves.
The snow had covered everything in sight,
Except for the sky and the sun shining bright.
The blanket stayed even as the day grew,
People flocked to capture the mesmerizing view.
The mounds and the snowman soon dotted the
trampled path,
As the kids hurled snowballs with blissful
wrath.
Only the remains of the blanket showed as the
dusk set,
The broken snowman was now left to forget.
What was left of the blanket was still bright
and white,
But pickled and trotted under the peoples might.
