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!

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.

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!

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!
If winter has you wishing for warmer days, these Funny Poems About Summer will bring a little sunshine and a smile.
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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?

Slipping on Ice
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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

Holiday Shopping

Through slush and crowds, I race and dash,
My list grows long, my wallet’s cash.

Pets in Winter Coats
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
One says "cold," the other says "heat,"
Who’ll control the ultimate seat?

Winter Hats: Fashion or Fiasco?
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
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!
