It’s Snowing !

A sudden flurry of snow fell gently at the park ,
Children buzzed with excitement.
Quickly it stopped and the joy faded  Disappointed cries were heard  all around 
As the white dusting melted into the ground.
That was December 

The laughter soon returned  
The new toys that Santa  had left 3 days before
 Sprang to mind and the disappointment disappeared
 just as quickly as the first flurry of snow.

It’s January now and an hour ago 
another flurry of snow 
Fell lightly from the sky.
This time it lingered.
The dusting turned to small feathers of  snow 
Which changed to huge flakes...
 and settled.

And settled.

And settled.

Doors flung open 
Shrieks of happy children filled the air
Snowballs flew across the gardens and families headed back to the park 
This time enjoying the crisp  blanket of snow 
building snowmen and making snow angels , faces aglow.
