Winter Poems for Kids

Enjoy these winter poems for kids. Everything from snowflakes to snowmen, to the freezing cold and slush!

SNOW MAN
He started with a ball of snow
that grew into a boulder.
A carrot for his pokey nose,
a scarf around his shoulder.
He has a funny crooked smile
(a Red Delicious slice).
His body is compacted snow
as firm and cold as ice.
He stands guard outside our house;
he wears not pant nor belt.
He will stay until comes spring,
but then he’ll have to melt.

Winter Poems for Kids #2

IT’S ALL SNOW
Fluffy flat flakes
Slightly slippery sleet
Fabulous furious flurries
Blowing blustering blizzard.
That’s the way it goes.
Call it what you will,
it's all snow.

Winter Poems for Kids #3

IT’S COLD
Were you smitten
by a mitten?
Did you barf
on your scarf?
Did you gloat
about your coat?
Have a spat
about your hat?

If I may be so BOLD,
put them on outside….
it’s COLD!

Winter Poems for Kids #4

SLUSH
Slush
it makes the outdoor hush,
a snowy icy mush.
I feel my body flush.
But I don’t mean to gush
about Slush.

Winter Poems for Kids #5

SNOW DAY
Snow day! Snow day!
Everyone go out and play.
The world is now a wondrous sight
wrapped up in a cloak of white.
It's really an amazing scene
Everything is white-washed clean.
So grab your coat, your scarf, your hat,
your gloves, your sweater, and your cat.
Zip up tight and go and play.
It's a snow day! A snow day!
