A Winter Night

The snow is blowing hard tonight The north wind is giving such a fright It howls at me all night long As though it sings a violent song The animals are tucked away Some sound asleep til springs thaw days The snow now blankets all I see Jack Frost is working on most every tree The fireplace burns it's wood so bright With flames that light the house at night It's warmth now feels so very neat I put my arm around my sweet Some of our friends come into view To share some laughs and a bite or two We'll talk and laugh the night away We'll get to bed at mornings ray For the right me a winter poem contest Written by Charles Reese 11/14/15
