(This is actually a poem, but we don't seem to have a category for that. "Rictameter" is a nine-line poetry form in which the first and last lines are alike, and the syllable count is as follows: 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2. I'm fascinated by exercises like this; you might want to give it a try. This poem also appears in my blog, "Write Your Life!")

Snowfall:

White, Beautiful,

Silent, soft, inviting

Snow angels, snowmen, sleds and skis.

Time for warm mittens, scarves, parkas, tall boots.

Drivers' challenge: shovel, plow, clear.

Parents' work, children's joy,

Winter's wonder:

Snowfall.
