The Snow  

By Peggy June

Frosty flakes, like icy webs
Fall straight down from the sky --
I catch some with my tongue
And others pass right by.
 
My hands, inside my crusty mittens,
Build a snow fort and a tree
While my bright-cheeked, red-nosed cousins
Dress a whole snow cavalry.
 
We laugh and yell and run around
Within our snowy homes
'Til Mother serves hot chocolate
In silver pots with silver domes.
