The snow caresses the air falling down Big fluffy flakes not making a sound The days are short and nights are long This is the beginning of a winter's song Flakes falling here flakes falling there There are flakes falling everywhere Jack frost kissing me on my nose It's beginning to blush like a rose I have my mittens, scarf and my hat Time to make a snowman short and fat Rolling a big snowball on the ground Making this snowman nice and round I think this snowman is afraid of the sun His buttons on the front are starting to run He's now looking upward to the sky Oh no my snowman is waving goodbye Edward J. Ebbs - 12/11/2011 Written for a Contest, Pictures of winter

It's always a joy to experience snow and build a snowman. The highs and unfortunate low of the last goodbye thanks to the sun.

I loved this line,"Jack frost kissing me on my nose, It's beginning to blush like a rose" The surprise at the end i is very fitting, "He's now looking upward to the sky Oh no my snowman is waving goodbye", Smile love it. Thanks for sharing your little gems. Agape, Moses
