Snow Flakes for Breakfast
By Rattle_Spear
27 June 2007
After snowing after twenty six years it was wonderful to see snow again.

Yes, it happened this morning

I woke up to a plate of snow flakes for breakfast

I heard the wind howling outside

The rain also came to the party

I heard the pitter-patter against my window

I realized the first snow in twenty six years

 

The grass rejoiced at the sight

The trees accepted the invitation to change to white

Friends had never experienced snow in their lives

The sun came out after dawn

It did not appreciate the arrival of the snow

The rays of the sun slowly melted the snow flakes away!

S. Africa? You just don't imagine snow down there - although I'm sure it happens in the mountains. Must be pretty special when it only happens every couple of decades. A bit like when the sun comes out here! 
 
Liked the idea of the sun being irritated.

I liked this poem very much. There is something so magical about snow, especially if you haven't seen it for years. 
 
I can just imagine the sun coming out and throwing down all those flaming torches at the insolent snowflakes!
