Basil wrote this poem for school based on another poem they are studying. Basil was especially excited to write this poem and he asked me to post it on my blog. He has the most extraordinary third grade teachers and we are so grateful! Glory be to God!
The Snowflake Song
By Basil
Sing a song of snowflakes
When the snow storm rage;
A thousand little snowflakes
Dance around a stage.
Watch them till they hit the ground
Swirling to the top;
Watch them drop as little flakes
PLOP! PLOP! PLOP!
Sing a song of snowflakes
On the hill up high;
A thousand little snowflakes
Fly among the sky.
Through the shinning fields we see
How they skip and prance
To the music of the wind
DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!
Sing a song of snowflakes
In the sunlight;
A thousand little snowflakes
Rolled in winter white
Cool and happy hand and hand
Melting in the air;
Isn’t that a snowy day
To enjoy without a care?

Wow Basil – I *LOVE* your poem. In my mind, I can picture as a children’s storybook. KEEP UP YOUR WRITING – IT’S GREAT!! :coolman:
This is Sierra. I really like that poem. It is very nice.
what a beautiful, joyful poem (I thought of you yesterday when I drove past the big ole Jesus half sunk in the lake statue):)
Very nice, Basil!
We found a poem Morgyn wrote in first grade I think the other day in a box of papers—also a winter poem. We have a lot of snow right now and it makes me think of R.L. Stevenson—”And tree and house and hill and lake, are frosted like a wedding cake.” Winter is an inspiring time to write poetry, I guess. So pretty. Have a wonderful week.:spinning:
