Debra Squyres Poet Rhyme

Christmas Waltz

Snowflakes waltz on cold breezes

Remembered dance steps centuries old

Changing partners on a whim

Caring not whose creation they will trim

 

Father North Wind interjects boldly

Guiding the familiar waltzing journey

As flake swirls and spin gracefully

Always retaining their individuality

 

Jack Frost, his night shift ending

Leaps and twirls from place to place

Freezing morning dew, now expanding,

Preparing for the dance troupe landing

 

Mother Nature, the definitive director

Observes diligently each intricate design

Ever mindful of their desired destination

Knowing each becomes a Christmas decoration

 

Blissfully unaware of the preparations for the show

Children awaken to blankets of snow

Hastily donning coats, caps, boots and gloves

 Father Christmas, delighted, smiles down from above


Note:  I wrote this last winter during the Christmas Season.  Hope you enjoy.  Merry Christmas !!!

Andrea Dietrich December 21, 2011 at 8:20 PM Debra,I can see you put a lot of work into this one, and it's a delightful piece. Toward the end, I almost thought it was a play like kids put on where they dress up like snowflakes and such, but it was just mother nature arranging the "real" show outside! Good one. Debra Squyres December 22, 2011 at 12:30 PM Might make a cute show...hadn't thought about it till you mentioned it. With a little work..hmmmmm Glad you enjoyed. Merry Christmas
