Poem

Original Submission by Lauren van heerden

Will it snow?

Will it snow will it snow

Will I ever seem to know

Will there be a white blanket

Covering the lan̈d like a human with a jacket

Will there be snowflakes falling from the sky

Somewhere in July

Will it snow will it snow

Eye don't know

Will there be snow angles in the ground

Look what I found

Will there be snowmen with a carrot as a nose

Will there be white beauty outside my window

Will it snow will it snow

My mind can't begin to grow

Imagining the possibilities

As I await to put on my snowskis
