Do You Hear What I Hear

Hail beats against the window, Wind howls on without remorse. Do you hear what I hear? Winter's voice is blithely hoarse. Trees are glazed with icing snow, Panes are veiled with frosted lace. Do you see what I see? Winter's face is full of grace. Pine pours spice into the air, Ginger floats in gentle wafts. Do you smell what I smell? Winter's perfume - fresh and soft. The hearth is bright with fire. The chilly night brews up a storm. Do you feel what I feel? My darling keeps me safe and warm.

Thank you, Andrea! You are always so encouraging! There are worse things to be than the Grinch :) (My favourite Christmas movie!!) Good luck with your poem - It looks like there are plenty of spaces left in the contest, so you've got lots of time!
