It is rare in Vancouver to get a snow day, but on the rare occasion, it does happen. I have to laugh when I see my students excited at the little bit of snow we do generally get, a few flakes compared to winters in Toronto. I don't begrudge them their enthusiasm for trying to sled, make snowmen and snow angels.
*** December 16th ***
Snow Day
Just look at the snow! Today’s a snow day!
Find the coat, the scarf, the hat. All ready!
Excited children run outside to play
Make the biggest snow fort. Oh, so steady
With friends, make snowballs and yell cheerily
Throw them hard, fast and far under the trees
Some hit their mark, take down walls. Such beauties!
Day gone, see snow flying by the window
See sleighs and snow angels amid flurries
Oh! Will it be a snow day tomorrow?
*** Poem in Dizain Form ***
P.S. Even the parrots like a good snow day.
