DECEMBER, DECEMBER

 

December, December

The snow has come

Falling all night long

Kids it’s time to have some fun

 

December, December

Children playing in the snow

Skating and sledding

Faces all aglow

 

December, December

More snow will come

Then all through the winter

Kids will have more fun

FATHER FROST

 

Father Frost, with icy fingers

Holds winter in his frozen grasp

And spreads it wide across the land

Till it wears his thick winter cloak

Build the world’s biggest snowman

We have a massive snowball fight

Doing battle till the enemy took flight

Then we stomp thru the powdery crunch

Making our way home to have lunch

In abundance

On the mistletoe

As the snow falls

On the bough

Mother Nature

Stocking her Larder

For the long bitter

Winter to come

How comfortably cosy you will be

On the long cold winter nights

RED BREASTED ROBIN

 

Red Breasted Robin

Sitting on the fence

With snow falling

God that bird is dense

 

Sitting out there exposed

Out in all weathers

Trying to look cute

As it freezes its feathers

BUT SOFTLY THE MYRIAD SNOW FLAKES FALL

 

But softly the myriad snowflakes fall

These infinite flakes of purest white

Like pure white down of angel’s wings

Floating gently from heavens height

 

But this is no heaven-sent delight

This thing of beauty that cruelly lingers

For harshly touched is the naked earth

When touched by winters icy fingers

AUTUMN MORNING

  The mist cascaded down the hillside Like a maiden’s hair Tumbling onto her shoulders The bare branches of the birch trees Pierced ...
