When The First Snow Falls by Miztrebor

The rain fell all day long
The cold had taken over everyone
I saw phantoms running around
Swift shadows in and out of the buildings
The wind was picking up
Rain felt like ice against my face

It was a cold, dark, wet night
Most would have been miserable
But i was in joy
I went to sleep smiling
Dreaming of what i knew was to come

The morning chill awoke me
I was immediately entranced
Looking out my window
I saw no color, only white
The rain had turned snow
And the land was quiet and at peace

I took up my board and goggles
Set to the slope
Gliding down on fresh powder
This is what i do
When the first snow falls

i must comment....
as much as you probably like the (expletive voluntarily deleted) white stuff.... you may take your snow and shovel it!

good poem, otherwise.

I understand
Thanks for liking the poem in a way at least. I understand that you may not like snow. I know many people that feel the same way.

i didn't mean to make it sound like i didn't think you like the poem. you stated that you did. i just meant that i can relate to people not liking snow.
