Snow Is Falling Once Again Poem by Deanna Samuels

Oh dear! Snow is falling once again
Sneakily covering over the recently clearing fields
Creeping in without great fanfare or ado
It's as though the snow does not want to end
But then, one day soon, nature will deem it to

The scene today is dull and grey, whatever way the gaze
Even the trees appear to have a look of doom and gloom
Waiting and waiting to bring their leaves to bloom
No, regrettably, the time is not right for that yet to occur
A month, maybe two will go by, before new buds uncurl

Every few hours a fresh flurry flies quickly by
Concealing dangerous iced patches for the unwary foot
Kids get precious extra hours on their rickety sleds
Laughing, having fun, whizzing down a local small hill
Meanwhile, the snow continues to fall and fall and fall
