My first rispetto
T'wards snow in Jerusalem I feel cold, Slip-sloshing through this dirty wet hassle; I'd much prefer to stay locked in my hold, Where I'm king of my dry, humble castle Israelites tend to find snow exciting, But my fingers feel stiff while I'm writing. Such commotion would a Russian befuddle ~ What's so great 'bout a vertical puddle?
Jerusalem had its first snowfall in six years the night before last, and I am excited 🙄
Ah, so it reached you, too? I saw images of a snow-covered Acropolis a few days ago. Carpe diem – build a snowman!
Feh.
I can tell how excited you are David! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, did that come across? 😉
It sure did… good job! 🤗👏👏
Yay for snow.❄ An excellent poem, well penned.
” Sliip-sloshing through the dirty wet hassle…humble castle”
Love those lines.😊👍👍

Loved that poem. Thanks.
Thank you, Elizabeth❣️
All best,
David
🙂 lovely – vertical puddle 🙂
🤡
I don’t know about all this snow in places there shouldn’t be snow…I’m more concerned than excited!

Here in Indiana, we are sick and tired of the snow – and it is still falling! I am however amused by the phrase “vertical puddle”! I hope this snow is temporary for you and by the time you read this it has all melted…
It is pretty much gone now, Muri, as expected. Just raining, as it usually does in the winter.
Yours,
David
I am the exact excited as you are, every time it snows here
Well, Ursa – I think you’re significantly more affected by snow than I am. for me, it’s a relatively minor and rare nuisance.
🙃

Yes that is fact. And I think minors must be enjoyable then
I liked this a lot!
Thanks
😁
Hello Ben, I can’t understand your poetry. Can you help me to understand them?
You try different poetry styles in a definite manner.
Lokesh ~
I am happy to answer any specific questions that you have, to the best of my ability 🙂
Be well,
David
When there is one I’ll ask you. Ok.
of course!
Enjoy.
What a lovely piece of writing. Witty, too. Thank you for giving me to smile in the morning, to brighten my hot cup of black tea. There is snow on the mountains near me, but it is more than a week old now, from days before the storm left California and moved into the East.
Danial,
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind comment.
Yours,
David
Wondering, did Liorah exclaim, “Manna, what is it?!”
Arnold,
No 😀
She’s familiar with snow because she’s been to Russia multiple times in January on family visits.
All best,
David
The dirty wet part is not so nice, but the trees and the parks are so beautiful…(K)
Yes, I agree.
I rather enjoyed snow in New Jersey when I lived in the USA ~ that was enough to actually have fun in. The problem with snow here in Jerusalem is that it is gone not long after it arrives, and because Jerusalem has rainy winters, it’s usually soggy not long after it lands on the ground. At night, I would have called it snow – by morning time, it was slush.
Your excitement shows in those lines 😀
And your daughter? Didn’t she like it?
I would be very excited if it snowed around me where i stay, but it only rains – and creates muddy puddles 🙂
The problem was that the snow fell in the evening when it was already dark and we were getting ready for bed ~ by the time morning rolled around, it was already raining and the snow had become slush. 🤢
how exciting for you all, not for me 🙂
Super, super exciting.
🙂
Love this! It made me chuckle 🙂
Thanks, Emma 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Sincerely,
David
Love it 😊
Thanks❣️
Nice rhymes here! I do not really enjoy snow, but it is also not as much a novelty here as it is in Jerusalem.
My Mom’s in Princeton, and she sent me photos and videos of the snow – it’s pretty cray cray right now.
