The Snow Day


The world sits quietly
in a blanket of white.
The smells of a crackling fire
and steaming hot chocolate waft into my room.
 
I lie in bed,
relaxed and eager to start my school-less day
of exhilarating snowball fights and sledding.
 
The true beauty of snow days is that
there is no distraction.
The world shuts down.
Simple pleasures -
the way the world should be.
