A Christmas Snow

Follow me and walk down an avenue of Firs To my Log Cabin you'll view, I'm sure you'll concur Overlooking Loch Ness, look in the fields you'll see A herd of beautiful Reindeer roaming so free But it's when you look around, my world glistens It started by walking to here, footsteps to listen Crunching, crunching, crunching, white virgin snow Where here it's normally dark, now it's all aglow As we turn the corner many colours in radiate Glistening amidst the white kaleidoscopic drape Then to the cabin we view, lanterns of every colour Hanging in joyful sway never outdoing each other As we draw nearer through the arched window I see So beautiful in adorn, a most lovely Christmas Tree Through the door we enter, Sleigh Bells in the Snow It's at this time of year, so many many smiles show .

A walk in the snow and trip back in my memories of our home on the farm many decades ago. A snow that year which was the perfect texture for snowball fights and me with 5 brothers as targets! Great poem my friend--best of luck in the contest.. Solid 7..

I love the snow Robert, especially when it's untouched virgin snow. Thank you, James :)

I stay 5 miles from Loch Ness Jan, and it's a blessing to have on my doorstep. Such imagery is here, and abounds, James :) xx
