Snow Days

When it snows,

the seed-pods of the Echinacea plants

generously bordering the sidewalk

are topped with snow caps

and each pod becomes an elf

whose only wish

is to make us smile.

 

When it snows,

the festive balls

(plastic but resembling glass)

that I hang on the elderberry shrub

in front of the house

put on comical, conical white hats,

which they sport

until the sun shines.
