Snow Flakes


Snow Flakes

by Emily Dickenson

I counted till they danced so
Their slippers leaped the town,
And then I took a pencil
To note the rebels down.
And then they grew so jolly
I did resign the prig,
And ten of my once stately toes
Are marshalled for a jig!

  1. My son called this morning to say he got another foot of snow last night in Chewelah...
    We have steady rain...

  2. Ahh...welcome snowflakes I see. Hope that you get to take a walk, at the very least, in them. (Hope that they stay for a while, too. Ours keep washing away.)

  3. That was a nice poem by Emily, La Tea Dah. Did you know I have toured her house in Amherst, Massachusetts? So fascinating....especially to be in the bedroom where she lowered the basket of goodies from the window for the neighborhood children.

    I hadn't read that poem and liked it. She was quite unique, don't you think? Take care and have a wonderful Friday. Susan

  7. Looks like winter has definitely settled in where you are. It's been raining off and on for a couple of days here. I'm on winter break now! So happy to have time to do all the things I keep putting off. Happy holidays to you and yours, Tammy
