Snow Day Poetry (Last Chance, Still Open)

My town just had a big snow, measuring about 2 feet now. I want poetry inspired by the snow. It can be about anything that has to do with our cold wintry friend.

Rules:

1. No StIcKy CaPs. It's just a general rule, though I don't understand why, it's so bad. Just because you're used to it!

2. No Erotica. I don't need to hear about what you were doing while it was snowing, keep it to yourself.

3. Only 1 entry each please, and no prewrites.

4. Just for fun post 'Penny Penguin prepared for prom.' on your author's notes so I know you read the rules. I will be checking up on that.

5. Absolutely no swearing. If you can't contain yourselves, go to a chatroom or something.



*Well, good luck to all, and have fun!*

    This contest is great Snows cool, but I wish the sun would come out more. It has, but not as much as the usual summer day. We barely get snow, so..yeah. We're lucky and get the annoying freezing weather. But, its getting better atleast. Theres some pretty awesome poems here. It's good to write about snow before winters over though There are alot of entries for this being a new contest. It's the third contest I've entered Good luck everyone!
