As Winter's Amazement Begins

Mugs of hot chocolate trickle down throats
Snowman is built with a carrot nose
Snuggled into our warmest coats
Can't wait to sled as the snowfall grows
Scrunching on boots over chilly toes

On frozen ponds we all go skating
Sliding our way through the ice and snow
Colder weather anticipating
Doesn't stop us don't you know
Mother Nature's putting on a show

Now we come inside to get warm
Build ourselves a cozy fire
We are watching the blanketing storm
The beauty of which we never tire
Extravaganza we so admire!

Fall is so lovely but when it wanes
Winter's wonders are welcomed in
Like snowflakes on the window panes
As another season does begin
We dress up warm,hug each other and grin!

I'd be pleased to say goodbye to winter if I could see snow, Deb. (Too hot here in FL and snow is rare.) Congratulations on your well-deserved win. Love and blessings, Carolyn

I love the south and the warmer weather, but have always been jealous of places which have snow at least occasionally. A very well written poem. Charles
