A Wintry Smile

 As she dances to a frosty tune
 Her wintry smile is cold as ice,
 She waltzes midst leafless trees -
 They shiver at her touch!.
 She calls the north wind
 and blizzards come
 Her cold heart,
 Thaws in 
 Spring

Joseph, what a wonderful image of winter with a "smile" on her face and a "waltz" in her steps. I love the image of winter looking to spring to "thaw" her "cold heart." Thank you for this delightful wintery picture! Sending you joy and blessings for a Merry Christmas.

Those "leafless trees" truly "shiver at her touch!" You're exactly right, Joseph. Winter is the next season upon us, indeed. Bundle up, my dear friend. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
