\nSnow Fall<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The snow comes in silence,
\nwith the wind in stillness.
\nQuiet white,
\nmakes a new morning.<\/p>\n

SYNDY CONGER
\nSnowbirds<\/em><\/p>\n

A bluejay drifted into the plum framed by our frosted window.
\nSnow dust floated to the ground as he froze, silent as the snowy dawn.
\nThen, counting it no crime, he snatched all the iced berries within beak’s reach
\nthat the robins had abandoned in their haste and the cardinal has not yet claimed.
\nHe still lingers in his winter place in M\u00e9rida with its sundrenched courtyards,
\nroosting by night, crooning by day, con sus primos, los p\u00e1jaros de Yucat\u00e1n.
\nHurry home, my love.<\/p>\n

LAUREN CARMEN
\nSnow Day<\/em><\/p>\n

Glittering, swirling flakes fall
\ndelicately from periwinkle skies
\nso serene at the time
\nand yet, only students realize
\njust how much woe
\nthose seemingly innocent snowflakes
\nwill bring them come June<\/p>\n

ALLISON HEADY
\nBat in the snow at the edge<\/em><\/p>\n

of the sidewalk: brown bud, brown blossom,
\nnot even a frozen palm’s full, lost to flight by cold
\nunreasonings of season, wings frost-fixed
\nto your diaphram, only downhills remain.<\/p>\n

KATHRYN HALL
\nSnow<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The mitten
\nOn the last patch
\nShaded
\nBeside the red tulip
\nThe clouds woolen
\nSo little
\nBy which to remember.<\/p>\n
