WINTER POEMS AND SONGS

Snowy Surprise
Sometimes the snow falls when I'm sleeping,
I'm not surprised when I awake.
I look out at the world around me,
It looks like a frosted birthday cake!


I'm A Friendly Snowman
(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a friendly snowman, big and fat,
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.
I'm a happy fellow, here's my nose,
I'm all snow from my head to my toes!
I have two bright eyes so I can see,
All the snow falling down on me.
When the weather's cold, I'm strong and tall,
But when it's warm, I get very small!

Snowflakes
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Snowflakes, snowflakes, dance around,
Snowflakes, snowflakes, touch the ground.
Snowflakes, snowflakes, in the air,
Snowflakes, snowflakes, everywhere!

Snowflakes
I like snowflakes. Ask me why. Why?
Because they fall from the sky,
Because the seem to dance and fly,
Because they pile up so high,
Because they are so white and dry,
Because they melt in my hand,
Because they're quiet when they land,
Because, because, because, that's why,
I like snowflakes!

Snow
The snow fell softly all the night,
It made a blanket soft and white,
It covered houses, flowers and the ground,
But did not make a single sound!

The Snowman
First the body, then the head.
A stove pipe hat, a scarf of red.
Sticks for arms, and coal black toes.
Pebbles for eyes, and a carrot nose!


I Love Snow
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)
I love snow, I love snow,
Soft white snow; soft, white snow,
It falls on the ground so soft and white,
Sometimes it falls all through the night,
Did you ever see such a beautiful sight
As soft white snow?


Snowflakes
(Tune: Sailing, Sailing)
Snowflakes, snowflakes, falling to the ground,
Each one rests so gently, they never make a sound.
Snowflakes, snowflakes, are so pure and white,
The special thing about them is
No two are alike!


Winter Inside

Winter is cold.
Winter is ice.
But winter inside
Is cozy and nice.

Winter is snow.
Winter is sleet.
But winter inside
Is fireplace feet.

Winter is bitter.
Winter is biting.
But winter inside
Is very inviting.

First Day of Winter

Fall has fallen
Winter rises.
Now's the time
For cold surprises.

Icicles' long pointed noses,
Flakes like daisies, diamonds, roses.
Snow up to the windowsill
And everything so very still.
~Patricia Hubbell~


What I Love about Winter

Frozen lakes
Hot pancakes
Lots of snow
How cocoa
Skates and skis
Evergreen trees
Funny hats
Thermostats
Sunsets blaze
Holidays
Snowball fights
Fireplace nights
Chimneys steaming
Winter dreaming.

Crumbs on the Snow

When it's winter and the snow
Like a tablecloth is spread,
I remember hungry birds
And see that they are fed.
On their snowy tablecloth
They find my gift of bread.
~Lucretia Penny~


I am Freezing!

I am freezing! I am freezing!
I am absolutely cold,
I am shivering and shaking
like a pudding in a mold.
There are glaciers in my stomach,
there is sleet inside my bones,
I am colder than the contents
of a million ice cream cones.

I am freezing! I am freezing!
From my bottom to my top,
all my teeth are clacking madly
and I cannot make them stop.
Oh I cannot feel my fingers,
and I cannot feel my toes,
now my cheeks are frozen solid,
and I think I've lost my nose.

I am freezing! I am freezing!
Inside out and outside in,
every bit of me is chilly,
every single inch of skin,
I have icicles inside me
and my lips are turning blue,
and I'm sneezing as I'm freezing,
for I've caught a cold . . .
AHCHOOOOOOOOOO!
~Jack Prelutsky~

Winter Clothes

Under my hood I have a hat
And under that
My hair is flat.
Under my coat
My sweater's blue,
My sweater's red.
I'm wearing two.
My muffler muffles to my chin
And round my neck
And then tucks in.
My gloves were knitted
By my aunts.
I've mittens too
And pants
And pants
And boots
And shoes
With socks inside.
The boots are rubber, red and wide.
And when I walk
I must not fall
Because I can't get up at all.
