What can this be, falling from clouds overhead?
It's a white powdery substance called "snow"
I've seen it before when I lived up north
every winter it would suddenly appear
Sometime after or just before Thanksgiving
but living in the high desert where I am now
it's only a brief yearly occasion to see real snow
among the palms, cactii and succulents in our area
It's very wet and fluffy lying on the palm tree
making puddles on the roads but then it freezes
and makes a scary dangerous skating rink
for those brave enough to hasten outside
So I sit inside my warm abode remembering
the hot stifling days of summer when we longed
for relief of some kind only to have a monotony
of hot temperatures, sunshine day after day
Nature and its four seasons certainly give us variety

a reason to look forward to the next season
that is, until it arrives then we are ready
to return to whatever climate we had before
