SOFT BLANKET OF WHITE

 

A silent soft blanket of white

Had hidden the land from sight

It’s our job to investigate the crime

Really, we want to have a good time

We sledge and we toboggan

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

WINTER HELL

 

The lake is frozen,

Nothing lives

In this frozen hell

Even the sky is desolate

Save for the crescent moon

Standing sentinel

WINTER HAS COME

 

Winter has come

The land has gone

A white shroud

Covers the lifeless form

WINTER DELIGHT

 

Building snowmen

Having snowball fights

Rejoicing in mischief

Is the winter delight

THE FIRST FLURRIES

 

The first flurries of the white,

Began to fall at twilight

Though until the dawn

So by the next morn

Everything lay below

A carpet of fresh white snow

WINTER SCENE

 

Winter seen through

Frosted glass,

With picture windows

Sugar-framed

IT’S SUCH A MILD CHRISTMAS

 

It’s such a mild Christmas

All the birds are singing noisily

Normally in December

They’re all frozen to a tree
