Hi Everyone!! This article will share Snow Questions & Answers.
This poem is written by Vijay Nambisan. The poet had never seen snow, but is aware that snow is white and light. He expresses that he would be really thrilled to see a vast white expanse of snow outside his house in the morning, if it snows the whole night. He hopes that one day he would roll on the snow and play with it. He would tumble and spin on the snow so much that the neighbours would plead for him to stop playing, and would send him back home to rest.
In my previous posts, I have shared the questions and answers of They Did It, To A Butterfly and The Letter A so, you can check these posts as well.
