I love the sense of joy and anticipation you create in such concise language. The restrictions of the syllable count give you a tight frame to work within and you use every word to its fullest. The picture is perfect to compliment your verse. Good luck in the contest.

Nice imagery which is often a problem in a short poem. The personification in the second line is very nice for the mood of the poem. Very well done. Cowboy

Your son is sure a cutie:) Great 2-4-2 poem in perfect form. Good luck in the contest.

You've been on FS since 2009? How have I missed you? I am a woman of faith as well. I hope to see more of your work.

Thank you for the review. I have been a member since 2009, but haven't been on for several years. After my father passed away a bunch of other very rough things happened and I wasn't able to write for awhile. God has definitely been working on me over the years and I am finally at a point where I am excited about writing again. I now have a lot to write about ;) God is so good and He has been faithful to restore and redeem.

I look forward to reading your work as well.

Blessings,

Katie

Hi Katie,
yeah, what a great place to be... within a happy place... and you can see by this photo that your notes are spot-on. So...

Schools out
Snow's calling me
Down hill...

Never had the snow part, but I still remember the feeling of just wanting to fly when I escaped from school... you know when the bell rang... smile)))))))), whatever activity.... but I sure would have loved the snow... looks like so much fun... still never been in it... now that's sad?

Great presentation and as I said, you captured a whole feeling within your limited syllable count... yeah, well done... and all the very best wishes in this contest.

May 2016 already started to drift the trade winds of Joy, Enthusiasm, Acceptance and Abundance to all your dreams and desires.

With our thoughts we create,
the necessity,
James vx's.

Thank you for your kind review. Snow is a lot of fun. We just moved to South Florida so not my son plays in the waves. As long as he's outside he's happy.

Thanks again for your review and generous stars.

Blessings,

Katie

This is a very good 2-4-2 poem you have penned. I remember when my sons were young they loved those snow days. In fact I loved them too. Great job my friend. Hugs, teri

Love that happy face.

The words match what every kid and kid at heart feels like. The kids at heart, have to call in sick, but that's their problem :).

The syllables are correct and the idea they build brings a smile to my face as wide as your cutie pie son's.

Thank you so much for your kind review. Yes, this kid loves to sled, but having it happen on a snow day is icing on the cake.

Thank you for taking the time to read and review.

Good Morning, Poet,

I enjoyed reading your snow poem. We had just a little flurry yesterday morning, and it was so beautiful to watch as it fell.

I do have one question about your poem. In line 2, did you mean 'snow's calling me' rather than 'A Snow's calling me'? I think this must be a corruption in your file and suggest you check it out as it currently makes your poem non-compliant with honest rules. With the A, the poem becomes a 2/5/2 rather than a 2/4/2.

Good luck in the contest.
Ray

You nailed it! This poem took me right back to childhood and snow days. Great use of artwork. Great picture! I would recommend this poem to anyone. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!
One question - did you mean snow's (contraction of snow is) instead of snows?
