It’s Metaphor Monday time with Joanna Marple’s Snow Geames 
A big bird’s nest sleigh
An avalanche of fun
Cold hard fun
Sloping around
We need a sleigh,
what shall we use?
There’s nothing but snow
no items to choose.
Birdy won’t notice,
let’s pinch his fine nest
Isn’t this fun?
This sleigh is the best.
Best nest, better still
sleighing down this super hill.
If you would like to hear more about Snow games, please visit Joanna’s blog. She used the funky and new uTales to publish this lovely story. It is really fun!
Can you think of any metaphors? Or would you like to write a poem in the comments?

Hmmmm…. A roller coaster of snow? I like your poem!
Great one, Erik! Mr. Black belt
Catherine, how’s this? Just came up with it after seeing your suggestion to use a metaphor and write a poem in the comment on your post today.
Fun and Games
The frog’s eyes were rubies
in a glimpse of the sun
as bright as the morning
on a day that was fun.
While the tadpoles wiggled,
all the children giggled.

Freeda, that is beautiful! It sounds straight out of a book.
Thanks. It’s early for me to be creating a poem, but your post inspired me! Amazing. I enjoy your blog and wish I had more time for networking. So If I don’t comment often, know that I’m reading your posts.
Thanks Freeda, that’s nice to hear. I should probably spend less time networking
Tweaked Twigs – gotta love Snow Games! Thanks Catherine.
Tweaked Twigs sounds like a lovely name for a pb Julie:)
I LOVE your poem. One day I might even shock you and write my own.
Maybe. LOL
Well Ciara you could write one based on one of your books
Fun poem to go with Joanna’s wonderful book Snow Games!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I’m loving seeing all the different perspectives on this delightful book snowballing through cyberspace as the blog tour continues.
Love the book and love this post. The fun continues.
Hi ladies, I plan to get a copy this week. Just waiting for the dust to settle on my last purchase then I’ll bulk buy again
Really fun, as usual, Catherine. I want to get Joanna’s book, too…after my dust settles! Nice way to put that
So cute! Love your poem and the book looks adorable.
Thanks Vicki!
Love your metaphor and I love the book.
Three bad things happen today
Now it’s getting sunny so all will be well.
lol Bet you thought that was going to be a metaphor! Sorry, I’m still reeling. take care
Oh Clar, that doesn’t sound good at all. I hope everything is okay.
Still reeling. Must go out for a walk and give thanks to my Divine Spirit or who I call God.
