By Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snowball,
as perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet,
and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pyjamas,
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night, it ran away.
But first, it wet the bed!
By Evaleen Stein
O happy time of fleecy rime
And falling flakes, and O
The glad surprise in the baby eyes
That never saw the snow!
Down shining ways the flying sleighs
Go jingling by, and see!
Beside the gate, the horses wait
And neigh for you and me!
By Jane Yolen
Ice Can Scream Ice can scream,
Ice can shout:
Winter in And autumn out.
5 Ice can shout, Ice can call,
Signalling The end of fall.
Ice can call,
10 Ice can yell Secrets no one Else can tell.
Ice can yell, Ice can howl,
15 Naming winter’s Weather foul.
Ice can howl, Ice can wail,
Counting up 20 Each storm and gale.
Ice can wail,
Ice can shriek Till the land Is winter-bleak.
25 Ice can shriek,
Ice can scream Straight across The autumn dream.
Ice can scream,
30 Ice can shout: Winter in And autumn out.

Inch by inch
Circling down
Icicles form
Crystal cones
Lavishly decorating
Every home
By Barbara Vance
If you go out when it’s snowing
And look up at the sky,
You’ll feel lots of icy kisses
As the snowflakes flutter by.
By Unknown
There was a chubby snowman
And he had a carrot nose
(put fist to nose like carrot)
Along came a bunny
(2 fingers up for ears)
And what do you suppose
(hands on hips)
The hungry little bunny
(rub tummy)
Was looking for his lunch
(hand to forehead, looking)
He grabbed that snowman’s carrot nose
NIBBLE! NIBBLE! CRUNCH!!
(Pretend to eat carrot)
By Dorothy Aldis
The street cars are
Like frosted cakes—
All covered up
With cold snowflakes.
The horses’ hoofs
Scrunch on the street;
Their eyelashes
Are white with sleet.
And everywhere
The people go—
With faces TICKLED
By the snow
By Leanne Guenther
One little snowflake with nothing to do.
Along came another and
Then there were two.
Two little snowflakes laughing with me.
Along came another, and
Then there were three.
Three little snowflakes looking for some more.
Along came another, and
Then there were four.
Four little snowflakes dancing a jive.
Along came another, and
Then there were five.
Five little snowflakes having so much fun.
Out came the sun, and
Then there were none!
By Nicolette Lennert
Winter, winter
Cold and ice
A mug of hot chocolate
would be nice
Winter, winter
Long dark nights
Kids bundle up
For snowball fights
By Michele Meleen
There was an old sled who was ready to ride,
I don’t know why it couldn’t slide.
There was a snowy hill sitting under the slide
it glistened and gleamed and begged for a ride.
There was a small boy standing on the hill
who wanted to slide, but stood quite still.
When the moment was right,
The boy sat on the sled.
He pushed off the hill and down they went
The boy and the sled began to slide
on their first and best snowy hill ride.
By Caryn Yacowitz
It happened while we were all asleep,
Snow had fallen—six feet deep.
The temperature was ten below.
All the roads were blocked with snow.
“No school today,” the radio said.
“Stay at home in your cozy bed.”
So I quickly dressed
And jumped on my sled!
By Sabina Laura
I caught snowflakes
on my fingertips
but they melted
to my dismay.
I could not hold on
to something
that did not want
to stay.
