A Picturesque Winter

Field and forest lay painted pearly white. Nature unravels her artistic side. Angels descend to view the peaceful sight. Trees glisten with a smile full of pride. Snow capped meadows welcome and do not chide. The winter sun calls out for none to hide. Peaceful people come out to laugh and play. Cocoa and s'mores are made by the fire. Majestic mountains host skiing all day. In peace reigns this wintery empire. Skate the lakes whose ice does not expire. Hockey games are drawn down to the wire. Fowl fly the sky; deer roam the forest floor. Yak dwell with monks on the high mountain top. Love highlights the mistletoe evermore. Snowmen come to life, no one tells them: stop. Wolves become puppies, aggression they drop. Rabbits fear them not. They share the same spot. Observe the snap shot of this winter land. May this time of peace on earth stand so grand. 12/26/2018 Winter Wonderland Poetry Contest Emile Pinet
