Jack Frost is lurking; he’s nipping my nose feather like snowflakes will soon start to fall I stamp my feet - I can now feel my toes winter will wrap her cloak around us all. Soon I snuggle by the warming log fire, outside the garden’s turning snowy white. I watch the flames leap higher and higher winter’s beauty is a glorious sight. Children make snowmen in the falling snow I watch them play; they are having such fun. Their innocent faces are all aglow, they stay outside until the day is done. When winter departs, then in rushes spring I love the changes each season will bring 10 syllables per line checked with How Many syllables 11~21~16

Jan, this is beautiful, you made winter seem so lovely, my world in Canada is a winter wonderland at the moment, although drivers would disagree with me, we had our first major snowstorm and it seems like it will be staying, welcome winter. This is a winner for sure.

This was beautiful, fun and brought back some wonderful memories of my youth when I lived in an area that actually had snow in the winter. And always the best part about snow was...school was canceled. :) Nicely written Jan.
