It snowed today!
Jonny jumped up and down with joy! It was snowing. And best of all, school was closed and Dad couldn’t get to work. Time for some fun! School said they had to do some homework, so when he finished playing outside, he sat by the fire and started writing.
It snowed today
Hip hip hooray
Slid down a hill
sat on a tray.
Built a snowman
fingers froze
Used a carrot
for his nose.
Threw a snowball
at my dad
The best-est time
I ever had.
‘I hope it snows again tomorrow’ Jonny said as he stared out of the window.
‘Me too’ said the snowman.

that's beautiful
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you. Thanks.
DeleteThis planted a huge grin on my face. Love the structure of the story, and the unexpected character in the end. Just yummy.
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted! thank you so much.
DeleteNice one Keith. Still hoping for a snow day or two so I can have the day off work :-)
ReplyDeleteCan't remember the last time I saw snow here. Perhaps you'll have more luck!
DeleteThat was so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
Deletelighthearted fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to write too. Thanks Karen
DeleteA delightful poem of childhood that brought back the fun of days when school would be cancelled due to snowstorms, for us children at home it was a wonderful day of free adventure, for my mother I'm sure it wasn't quite so exciting with children underfoot and looking for things to do!
ReplyDeleteSnow is a rather rare sight here, and I can't remember the last time schools shut. I'm missing out!
DeleteThat was so sweet! Nothing better than time together with Dad!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a bit of Dad time! Cheers Dale

ReplyDeleteThank you so much
DeleteDear Keith,
ReplyDeleteCute story. I can remember some great snow days with my boys. Although the thought struck me that, like it or not, without school, Johnny wouldn't have been able to write a poem. I enjoyed this story.

No matter how much you liked school, getting a snow day was so always so exciting! Thanks Rochelle.
DeleteI love this, the kid's voice sounds so true, with the little distractions.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a kid at heart! Thanks so much
DeleteVery sweet. You absolutely amaze me with your different styles presented so well within so few words.

DeleteThe snowman made it for me. A great invention :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love a talking snowman!
DeleteLovely, warmhearted tale, Keith. Here's to more snowdays!
ReplyDeleteThey are a nightmare foe some, heaven for others! I'm with the latter...
DeleteThat was fun, and made me wish I'd added my own snow poem to my blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would have been a bit more grown up than mine!
DeleteSounds like Jonny had a fun day! Great poem "he" wrote, too :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's not bad at it! Don't know where he got he got his poetic streak from!
DeleteI knew an unhappy snowman once.
ReplyDeleteIt depressed him that everything smelled of carrot.
Could be worse - what if it was sprouts?
DeleteLovely poem very cute :)
