Question

\(\textbf{Poem 2 }\)
When the snow's falling, it looks pretty
It looks like a big white blanket
That covers all of New York state.
When the snow falls
The snowflakes are all different shapes and sizes
You always hope school's out
So you can build a snowman and have
A grand old time.
How does it look when the snow is falling?

Hint:

"How does it look?" questions are asking for descriptive language. Look for adjectives (like "pretty," "white") and similes (phrases using "like" or "as") in the text.
