Snow Day

This poem uses plenty of imagery to describe the setting in the poem. Even though I only saw real snow a handful of times, I can perfectly imagine the "Revolution of Snow." I like how it paints the picture of all the buildings and the train tracks being covered in snow and also describing the actions of the kid and his dog. Once it gets to the radio listening part, it gets kinda weird. All the school names are odd. It is as if the poet tried to think of the most whimsical names they could put. Ding-Dong School, Hi-Ho Nursery School, Tom Thumb Child center, Peanuts Play School. All these names put me in a playful mindset, like everything is just good. That's why the last line in the last stanza is so jarring.With all the kids playing in the previous lines these girls are just plotting by the fences on taking someone down. It really breaks the innocent and whimsical illusion the poet was making just with that one line.
