Paulette Calasibetta Poet Rhyme

First Snow

Soft and white the landscape,
                             Spreading farther than I can see,
                                Skipping over rolling hills,
                                Turning around every tree.

                                 Its blanket has no edges,
                               It folds and drapes through town,
                                Resting on every newel post,
                                   In a perfect little mound.

                                    The sun comes out
                            From behind a cloudy veil of gray,
                                 A picture perfect moment,
                                 To start this winter's day.
