Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.)
This might be an odd choice for the end of June(!), but I’m continuing along with sharing the poems I wrote for the Madness Poetry competition created by Ed DeCaria. This was for Round 3, and my assigned word was “parlance.”
And for lots of terrific poetry, don’t miss the Poetry Friday Roundup with Carol at Carol’s Corner!

I’m of the Miracle variety as is your poem!
Oh, this is wonderful. Somehow I missed it in March and I’m so glad you shared it again. Besides a reminder of snow is perfect on this soon-to-be-very-hot day! The ending stanza is fabulous and thought-provoking, and I love your use of the word “parlance.”
There are many ‘names’ you’ve given that are just delightful, Laura. I love snow, so smiled at every one, but my favorite is “Daughter of winter”, the nicest image!
Fun! And so nice to think about snow in late June.
Snowzilla it was for most northeners but for me it was a “thing of beauty”. As I am designing the spring gallery, I am recalling that there was a #winterinspring opening to the spring season that lasted quite longer than expected. Have a warm, summer day to take away the chill of recalling snow, Laura.
So fun! Ruth, thereisnosuchthingasagodforsakentown.blogspot.com
After a string of record breaking temperatures in Denver this week, it’s fun to think about snow! I love all of the different names you have given it. I’d love to use this poem when we talk about point of view, or connotation and denotation in sixth grade. Would that be all right?
Wow! What a poem for “parlance” No matter what you call it, I always welcome some snow. It must be that Southern upbringing where snow was quite miraculous!
In the “parlance” of today’s midwestern sultry summer heat I would welcome you–“Snow” even in thought. Cool poem, and I’ll ponder on it more in this heat, thanks Laura.
