Dear December

Soft snow swirls down as cold breeze blows A snow-white crown covers the earth Life is in hibernating throes Let’s stay inside near the warm hearth Syllable count: 8.8.8.8 11.18.2021

Very nicely penned, Jo. Early winter images are vivid + most relatable. Best wishes, Brian

I love the juxtaposition of cold and warmth - it brings a glow to a poem that describes December so beautifully in so few lines. Cheers - Gary

To escape the biting chill, stay close to the hearth with a cup of steaming tea. Simple and sweet, Jo

yes, I think it's good to stay inside. I had a winter poem for walking in snow, but honestly, I prefer YOUR idea here!!

Which reminds me I must bring down my heater as it's getting cold. ~~
