Cold Winter Blues


Chilly wind blows over white hills 
Outside snow falls on windowsills 
Life comes to halt o'er frozen lakes 
Dazzling the eye are snowy flakes 

Woollen caps and coats are worn now 
Icicles cling as snow sleds plow 
Nippy weather bites the strangers
Translucent ice creates dangers
Eerie the storm that howls about 
Raring to go are children out 

Below zero degrees they fall
Lights dimmed, bleak conditions for all 
Uplifting skis and skates enthral
Eventide blizzard does appall
Slowly snow descends at nightfall.
