Join in the fun! Prompt for W3: An Echo Poem about firsts.
I built my first snowman just a few years ago (in my late fifties nonetheless.) So much fun! Never really had the opportunity before. I’m the one in red in the photo.
First Snowman
I built a snowman!
Man!
My very first one.
One,
Two, three balls of snow.
Snow
Fell in giant flakes,
Flakes
I could not resist.
Resist
Urges to stay in.
In
Where it’s nice and warm.
Warm
Gloves and borrowed hat.
Hat
For my first snowman.
Man!
California girl;
Girl
Where it seldom snows.
Snow’s
Cold but lots of fun!
Fun
Time with my sister.
Sister
Couldn’t believe me.
Me?
I said I never,
Never
Built a snowman.
Snowman!

Kaci, this made me smile. The line “California girl; / Girl / Where it seldom snows” really captures the wonder of that first snowman moment. ❤

Thanks, David! The first time it snowed where I grew up
I get it!
Sorry. It snowed for the first time in 40 years when I was in grade school. Thanks for making me smile too!
Nice!
Thanks!
I loved the use of man repeated throughout. It really brought out your sense of awe and excitement!
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome.
That is an amazing first snowman too, such a fun echo 💞Suzanne
Thanks, Suzanne!
Kaci, great work on the prompt! It is always fun to build a snowman, it looks great. Thank you for joining in. 💛😊
Thank you!! 😊
Kaci, I know that thrill (second hand) having the joy of helping my Georgia niece and nephew build their first snowman! They were so surprised that the snow was so cold! (they were 7 and 5)
How fun for you all!
Their awe and wonder were delightful to witness!
Aw. Love that!
I really enjoyed this poem. Very nice style.
Thank you, Rebecca!
You never forget your first snowman! You did great with that and with this prompt.
Thanks so much!
What fun! I bet you had a blast!! ☃️
I did!!
