We had snow in Denver this week- one of those glorious mini-blizzards that makes you want to throw on your boots and stomp around outside. Today when I work in classrooms, I will be sharing two of my favorite oldie but goodie "snow poems."
"Red Boots On"
Way down Geneva,
All along Vine,
Deeper than the snow drift
Love's eyes shine:
Mary Lou's walking
in the winter time.
She's got
Red boots on, she's got.
red boots on
Kicking up the winter
till the winter's gone.
- Kit Wright
Read the rest of the poem and/or listen to Kit Wright read it here.

And then a favorite Pooh-ism.
"The More It Snows"
The more it snows (Tiddely-Pom) The more it goes (Tiddely-Pom) The more it goes on snowing (Tiddely-Pom) And nobody knows (Tiddely-Pom) How cold my toes (Tiddely-Pom) How cold my toes are growing (Tiddely-Pom Tiddely-Pom Tiddely-Pom Tiddely-Pom)
- A.A. Milne
You can watch a video of this one here.
Sherri is hosting Poetry Friday here.
She shares "Miracles," a Walt Whitman poem that seems a perfect companion to "Red Boots On."

It was a lovely snow, wasn't it, except for those who had a tough time on the way home, I guess. I don't know this first poem, Carol-very fun for young students. Thank you!
Fun stuff!
