3WW: Generate, Meager, Tease

Meager snow outlines
the roofs, trees, and bare ski slopes~
Don’t tease, generate!
A SNOWBOARDER STARES OUT THE WINDOW AT TINY FLAKES
Don’t tease, generate
snow for the dwindling halfpipe.
Out, out meager snow!

Cute! I must say I'm glad y'all have the snow and not us. :)

^giggles^ I long for weather, much of the time in this mostly weatherless land in Bakersfield, California.

Hot and Fog. Barely winter and oodles of summer.

Enjoyed the heck out of the humor in your poem!

My son went snowboarding today. I hope the snow generating machines create more than this meager winter has teased.

Nicely Linda, we'd love you to post this at the NaiSaiKu challenge?

We're still trying to build up the contributors since we started back in January.

Only snowboarders will beg for snow. Not this fair weather thin skinned southerner. Spring can't come fast enough!
I blame that groundhog!
Brrrr!

I love it. Just in time for the winter Olympics too.

Wendy Naisa said...

Thanks Linda, we love your poetry!

With a snow storm looming in the forecast, this was a nice read! :)

As always, love your poems...

Stan Ski said...

NaiSaiKu Challenge would benefit from this excellent contribution.

Thomma Lyn said...

lol! That's great. I love "don't tease, generate" in the context of the snow! :)

Dee Martin said...

Loved the poem - you can have all the snow :) I'm ready for spring!

Nicely done! I don't share the snowboarder's wish, but I understand it.

Great use of the prompt words. I thought it might be related to the Olympics, but it surely works for snowboarders everywhere.
