Line Gauthier Poet Quatrain

First Snowflakes

bundled in warm clothes
tuque down to my nose
pretty fluffy red mittens
layers at my neck soft as kittens

let the winds howl
and the snow fall
christmas less than a month away
keeping naughty thoughts at bay

counting down the days with glee
putting up the christmas tree
hanging stockings with our names
dreams of fancy toys and games

made a list for santa claus
hoping for a gift decked with four paws
mugs of cocoa with some marshmallows
wrapping presents with big bows

licking spoons with cookie dough
singing christmas carols on the radio
jitterbugs and odds and ends
inviting over family and friends
