Catching Snowflakes (Without Punxsutawney Phil) on Groundhog Day

Winter Morning Poem
by Ogden Nash
Winter is the king of showmen
Turning tree stumps into snow men
And houses into birthday cakes
And spreading sugar over lakes
Smooth and clean and frosty white
The world looks good enough to bite
That's the season to be young
Catching snowflakes on your tongue
Snow is snowy when it's snowing
I'm sorry it's slushy when it's going


PS - Although the FiveSibes didn't see any shadows (just drifts of snow!) or Punxsutawney Phil, Happy Groundhog Day to all!

  6. Happy Groundhog's day! I am not sure I trust Phil this time around. We got 21 inches of snow last night. Hurry up, spring!

  7. Great poem, great pic! Ciara likes to pounce on the snowflakes as they hit the ground:) She IS one silly girl.

    Mom is elated with Phil's report, but not us.
