Constance La France Poet Quatrain

December

 
As a winter child I love December snowflakes,
cozy scarfs and mittens and snowy lovely scenes;
the smell of grandma cooking her Christmas fruitcakes,
oh, I love the fragile snow covering all the greens.

Jennifer Proxenos November 14, 2021 at 5:42 AM i think that Winter in far Northern and Southern countries must be extraordinarily awesome to see, we have snow in Johannesburg about once in 9/10 years and shops close, business stops and shcools play and cameras and cell phones all clicking, even on the highway, most cars pull off and get out of the car - it is such a rare beautiful scene for us to see and experience. Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Constance La France November 14, 2021 at 2:06 PM Jennifer, I am a Winter child, born in a snowstorm, so I love the snow, it is awesome. It should be starting soon as our temps are going below zero now. No business closures here, life goes on as usual. Thanks for the visit, comment, and compliment, hugs ~ love and serenity _Constance
