We had
record snow of almost 8 to 10 inches in our city this week. It snowed nearly
the entire day covering the streets, lawns and trees like a thick white carpet.
It was a beautiful sight, to see everything white and glowing. But that sight was
short lived. The walk ways were quickly cleared and people thronged the lawns
to play in the snow. The beautiful snow carpet was trampled and almost
destroyed. The temperature increased today and all snow melted. I am now
waiting for the next snow.
The lawns
and streets looked carpeted white;
With snow
stuffed trees on the sides glowing bright.
The snow
had covered every inch of the land;
Eclipsing
the earth at the stroke of its wand.
The men
soon arrived with shovels and salt;
To clear
the snow and bring its spread to a halt.
Children
and families swooped to capture the enthralling sight;
Trampling
the snow which was laid picture perfect right.
The earth
showed again as the day grew old;
Bursting with
colors as the snow started to unfold.
Despite all
colors the earth missed its glow.
Waiting to
be painted with a fresh coat of snow.
