Winter
Time!
Announced by
all the trumpets of the sky,
arrives the snow.
by
Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the depths
of winter I finally learned
there was in me an invincible summer.
by
Albert Camus

First
Snow
by Mary Louise
Allen
Snow makes whiteness
where it falls
The bushes look like popcorn balls
And places where I always play
Look like somewhere else today
Beautiful feathery
flakes of snow
Over the woodland and field they go
Making a blanket so warm and deep
Over the flowers that lie asleep

Winter Morning
Poem
by Ogden
Nash
Winter is the
king of showmen
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over lakes
Smooth and clean and frosty white
The world looks good enough to bite
That's the season to be young
Catching snowflakes on your tongue
Snow is snowy when it's snowing
I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going

I like to walk
on fresh fallen snow
The kind that whispers and speaks.
It sings a song as I walk along
With crackles and scrunches and squeaks.

Jackets and
sweaters, Stockings and boots
Snug hats and mittens, Warm woolen suits
All bundled
up and ready to go
Out of the house to play in the snow
Although I feel
clumsy in all of these clothes
I am so happy whenever it snows!
Snowmen fall
from Heaven, Some assembly required

Where did you
get that little red nose?
Jack Frost touched it, I suppose.
He touched it once, he touched it twice.
Poor little nose, it's as cold as ice.
