Snow Day! Snow Day!

                            I love snow days!                            
The chance they offer
to be
snuggled inside
or bundled outside

I love the risk of snow days:
Will I venture out?
It’ll be cold!

And the choices of snow days:
build a snow man?
Walk to the store?
Make snow angels?
Curl up with a good book?
Look for a good sled-riding hill?

The unexpected gift of time
expanding before me
bidding . . . 
Come – do with me as you will

And the birds in the snow-laden bushes
pop
If I am very lucky
maybe I will see
a cardinal
I’ve got plenty of time to watch
for him

The only thing I lack
is a playmate
