Snow

maggie grinnell 1965 (los angeles)

Free verse
Snowflakes melting in my mouth
White covered pine trees frozen lake
Dad and his homemade metal toboggan
Whisking down the hill
Hot cocoa in coffee mugs, crunching white ice
Under the red buckled snow belts
Kids trying to ski down the bunny hill at the
Nearest resort

About this poem

This was a time when my dad took me sledding down a packed snow hill
