Snowy Adventures

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

As winter arrives, we cheer and sing,
For snowy adventures that joy does bring.
Through icy slopes, we'll swiftly glide,
On skis and boards, our egos ride.

With limbs a-flail, we'll skate so grand,
Like Bambi on ice, a sight so unplanned.
Snowshoes strapped on, we'll trudge in delight,
Wandering aimlessly 'til wayward flight.

So let the cold winds blow and snowflakes fall,
We're off to have fun, ignoring the call!
For in this frigid wonderland, I decree,
Only laughter and merriment shall set us free!

In Winter's Embrace

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

In Winter's embrace, the snowflakes descend,
Covering landscapes, a scene to commend.
But me? Oh, I'm cozy, tucked in so tight,
With my blanket armor, a warrior of the night.

While others frolic in wintery glee,
I'm snug in my fortress, content as can be.
No gloves or scarves for this winter's delight,
Just me on the couch - a true snow queen in sight!

In Winter's embrace, the snowflakes descend, Covering landscapes, a scene to commend. Winter Poems

Snowflakes

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Snowflakes are intricate and unique,
With every shape, a sight to pique,
They dance from the heavens, oh so grand,
Adding magic to this frozen land.

Each pattern formed, a meticulous art,
But sometimes they just don't play their part,
They aim for your eye, with precise intention,
Leaving you blinking in snowflake suspension.

Contemplate Hibernation

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Winter's here, the days are dashed,
Dimming light, my hopes are smashed,
With each tick of the clock, daylight recedes,
I contemplate hibernation, oh please, please!

Snuggled under blankets, fast asleep,
While the world outside turns snowbound deep,
But alas! Responsibilities await my presence,
No choice but to brave this cold unpleasantness.

Winter Holidays

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Winter comes with holidays in sight,
Christmas and New Year, oh what a delight!
Gifts are exchanged, parties galore,
While we stuff ourselves, till we can't eat anymore.

Santa Claus slides down chimneys so slick,
As we countdown to midnight, bells go tick.
With cheers and laughter, the year is through,
In hopes that resolutions stick like glue.

Winter comes with holidays in sight, Christmas and New Year, oh what a delight! Funny Christmas Poems

The Joyful Snowman Crew

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

In winter’s chill, the snowflakes fall,
My friends, the snowmen, stand so tall.
With carrot noses and coal for eyes,
They brighten the season under gray skies. . . .

Winter Brings Imagination

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Winter brings imagination's flight,
To children with mischief and delight.
Snowmen come alive when no one sees,
Sneaky antics and mischievous sprees.

They tiptoe in the moonlit snow,
Pranks and giggles, oh the show!
Oh, winter's magic, such a sight,
As snowmen frolic through the night!

Icy Road and Snow Falls

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Oh winter, with your icy roads and snow falls,
You sure know how to slow us down, causing brawls.
Sliding and slipping on the frozen terrain,
We're like penguins trying to waddle in vain.

Cars turn into ice-skating rinks, it's a sight to see,
Bumper cars? No, it's just my commute through this decree.
Winter wonderland or frozen disaster zone?
I'll choose laughter over frustration rather than groan!

Oh winter, with your icy roads and snow falls, You sure know how to slow us down Winter Quotes

White Fields

Poet: James Stephens

In the winter time we go
Walking in the fields of snow;
Where there is no grass at all;

Where the top of every wall,
Every fence and every tree,
Is as white as white can be.

Pointing out the way we came,
Every one of them the same  -
All across the fields there be
Prints in silver filigree;

And our mothers always know,
By the footprints in the snow,
Where it is the children go.

Slippery Sidewalk Woes

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

I step outside, so sure, so bold,
But the sidewalk’s slick and icy cold.
My feet fly out, I start to glide,
And hope no one sees my graceless slide!

I flail my arms, I twist and turn,
Trying to stop, but it’s no concern!
I crash into a bush, then start to laugh -
Winter’s slippery dance is quite the craft!

The Seasons Come and Go

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Oh, the seasons, they come and go,
With winter bringing a chill to my soul.
But fret not, my dear frosty friend,
For your reign, I eagerly wish to amend.

A blustery breeze and snowy scenes,
Leave me yearning for gentle sunbeams.
So quickly, winter, make your escape,
Bring on the warmth, no time to drape!

Oh springtime, hurry forth with grace,
Summer's warmth I long to embrace.
Winter, let us part ways with glee,
And welcome days of flip flops for me!

Winter, let us part ways with glee, And welcome days of flip flops for me! Funny Poems About Summer

The Uncooperative Snowman

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

We rolled the snow, so big and round,
Stacked it high, the best in town!
With button eyes and a carrot nose,
A scarf to match, oh how he glows. . . . .

Winter's Workout

Oh, the first snow falls, a frosty delight,
Turns the world into marshmallow white.
But the shovel reminds, as we clear the way,
Winter’s workout begins today!

Layers Upon Layers

I bundled up from head to toe,
A scarf, a hat, three coats in tow.
My boots were tight, my mittens thick,
But now I walk like a frozen brick!
By the time I’m dressed, I start to think -
Do I even need to leave, or just grab a drink?
Snowman Building Fails We built a snowman, proud and tall, Gave him a hat and a scarf and all. But one strong breeze gave him a twist, Now he's just a snowball - what a plot twist! Poems About Snowmen

Slipping on Ice

I stepped outside with a confident stride,
But my dignity took a slippery ride.
Arms flailing, I hit the ground,
Winter’s laugh echoed all around!

Bundling Up

I’ve got on mittens, a scarf, and a hat,
Can’t tell where I end, I’m wrapped up that fat!
Moving’s a task, but at least I’m warm,
A human burrito, winter’s new norm. . . .

Winter Car Troubles

The car won’t start, the engine’s iced,
Winter mornings aren’t very nice.
So I trudge through snow, late once more,
Grumbling at the frost and my frozen door!

Frosty Toes and Frozen Noses

My toes are blocks of solid ice,
My nose, a popsicle—oh, so nice!
I wiggle and stomp, but it’s no use,
Winter’s chill has cut me loose.
No matter the socks or hats I wear,
Cold finds a way to sneak in there!

Snow Days

The kids rejoice, no school today,
But moms and dads have bills to pay!
Snowballs fly, and the chaos grows,
Who said snow days bring repose?
Winter Comfort Food A steaming mug of cocoa sweet, Marshmallows floating, a cozy treat. Winter’s chill can stay all day, As long as my snacks don’t go away! Winter Poems For Kids

Holiday Shopping

Through slush and crowds, I race and dash,
My list grows long, my wallet’s cash.
Winter shopping, a frantic spree,
Who knew giving could be so spree-free!

Pets in Winter Coats

My dog looks dashing in her hat and coat,
But her wobbly walk gets my biggest vote.
The boots are on, but she won't take a step,
Frozen in place, with one little yelp. . . . .

The Sledding Wipeout

I climbed the hill, my sled in tow,
The perfect run, or so I thought, you know.
I launched with speed, the wind in my face,
But hit a bump—what a wild chase!
I tumbled, rolled, and spun around,
My sled kept going... as I laid on the ground!

The Battle with the Thermostat

One says "cold," the other says "heat,"
Who’ll control the ultimate seat?
Winter’s here, and tempers flare,
The thermostat war is a frosty affair!
Frozen Pipes Turn the tap, but nothing flows, Pipes are frozen, and trouble grows. Boiling pots, I’m on the mend, Winter’s work will never end! Funny Poems About Life

Winter Hats: Fashion or Fiasco?

My hat has ears and pom-poms too,
It’s bright neon green, not a normal hue.
It keeps me warm but gets some stares,
Like I’m a creature from who-knows-where!
Fashion or warmth, I can’t have both,
So I’ll rock this look like I took an oath!

The Ugly Holiday Sweater

They handed me a sweater with bells and lights,
A snowman’s face that glows at night.
It jingles and itches, it’s hard to ignore,
And somehow it sheds all over the floor.
But I’ll wear it with pride—just for the cheer,
Then hide it away 'til next year!

The Great Snow Shoveling Debate

The snow is deep, the driveway wide,
But no one’s moving - oh, what a slide!
"I shoveled last time!" you loudly declare,
"I’m too busy; my back’s in despair!"
We bicker and argue, each with a plea,
But in the end, it’s the snow who wins, you see!

Frosty Mornings

The car’s a block of icy doom,
Scraping the windshield, I must assume.
Fingers freezing, the air so stark,
Why won’t this scraper just hit the mark?
Winter mornings, oh, what a feat,
To get back in and defrost my seat!
