My first snow experience

by Mark   Nov 5, 2006


As I sit inside watching from the window,
I see white snow on the ground and vebelow.
I sit and shiver as I feel a cold chill,
I run outside, and onto the hill.

The snow so white, so pure and icy,
Luckily for me it isn't pricey.
My hands are warm which melts the snow,
A big gust of wind came, so cold, oh no!

I love this so much, it's my bliss,
I look inside my window and faintly hear my kitten hiss.
I see snowflakes fall in front of my eyes,
I'm like a snowman, but dressed in disguise.

The silver shine off the ice in the lake,
I now wonder if I am actually awake.
I see the ice picks off of my house,
Like a crystal, it hits me as I become more rouse.

In the garden, the roses are white,
Covered in snow from when it snowed last night.
I make my way inside, as I'm so cold,
I lay on the couch, as I grab a pillow to hold.

I grab my blanket and place it over me,
A smile on my face, I'm overwhelmed with glee.
My first time seeing real snow,
I was so happy, it sure did show.

I forgot to add that there was a list of 15 words to be used in the poem. I used the 15 words for a contest and came up with this poem.

The part about the pillow is to get warmth from it.

I've edited a few stanza's.. so I hope you still like it.

    This poem made me giggle. :) snow is so cool! I usually choose which stanzas/lines I like the best, but I can't even choose! AWESOME job. I really loved it.

    This was a very nice poem, but some of the rhyming seemed forced and some things were not needed..like the part with the kitten and the part about it not being pricey....but thats just my opinion...the rest was very nicely assembled and descriptive...i could picture the image in my head.well done:)

    You used really good descriptions in this which made great imagery. I've never seen snow, but i'm sure i'll be just as you were. A good write. Keep it up. =]

    Ok I liked the idea of someones first experience of snow, but they don't seem all that amazed and excited to say it's their first time...
    First stanza: You start with the snow already laid on the ground, then later talk about the snowflakes falling. Personally I would have found it nice to read the poem starting with a first snowflake and the emotions you felt.
    Second stanza: I love catching snowflakes on my tongue so I loved the image of this part. However, I felt the rhyming in this stanza somewhat cheesy and forced.
    Stanza three: I own 4 cats and know how easily they can mistake you for other people even if you only change your coat. I loved the idea of the kitten questioning who you are because you're covered in snow.
    Stanza four: This one was good as it showed you wondering if it was reality or not. I do think the first line would sound better "ice on the lake" as the water under the layer is still there.
    Stanza five: The rose line shows it's early winter, hence the first snow, so this is a good way to back up the poems subject. I didn't understand in the last line why you're holding a pillow, maybe this was only used to rhyme and in which case this is not good.
    Stanza six: Good exciting end (this is how the beginning should be). Good way to round off the poem, but I think it could have been shown a bit more in the poem as a whole, the happiness I mean.

    Ok so overall a good poem. I just suggest if you were to edit it you add some more excitment to the beginning especially and check that the rhymes aren't forced.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I *love* it. It makes me want to jump in the snow as soon as we get an actual snow (more than 3 inches!). Excellent job. I could picture the whole thing as I read word to word. Keep it up.
