"Snow Day"

a frozen world around

   lost in our fort of solitude

a play-date that never ends

   mommy, daddy, daughter

a wish for a life as easy

   as a snow-day home together

a nap in the middle of the day

  for mommy and daddy

a time for bonding and raspberry wars

  movies and water colors

a frozen world surrounds us

  we don't care

a family comes together

  for snow-day joys

"Snow globe"

I live inside a beautiful snow globe
It is quiet and serine, most of the time
Falling snow flakes are quite lovely
  but when they stop, you live in fear
When will someone come along and decide
  that my wonderful home is not good enough?
They pick me up with their own ideas
  of how things should be,
Then they shake the hell out of my world
  just to watch the snow flakes fall.
