Terry Hoffman Poet Monorhyme

As Autumn's Breeze

As Autumn's breeze begins to blow,
we see the falling flakes of snow
accumulate and start to grow.
It's such a show! It's such a show!

Jack Frost brings forth his crystals clear,
while in the woods are wary deer,
preparing for the winter year.
They've much to fear! They've much to fear!

The children skating on the rink,
will sometimes fall in ice's chink;
they sip hot chocolate for their drink,
then catch a wink, then catch a wink.

A blizzard strikes with fury great;
the children must now cease their skate
and bide 'neath pine to know their fate.
And so they wait, and so they wait.

When finally they all can see
that snow has spared the great pine tree,
they jump and romp and say "Whoopee!"
They are carefree! They are carefree!

Shadow Hamilton September 3, 2016 at 3:22 PM as previously mentioned not a monorhyme Terry but it is an excellent rhyming poem congrats on placing Terry Hoffman September 3, 2016 at 4:09 PM Thanks so much for liking it. Again, it is a monotetra and that is not a category on this site. Where would I put it?
