I watch feather light snowflakes float down to the ground they land so delicately; they hardly make any sound by evening a blanket of wintry white is all around The weather forecast confirms that winter is finally here I see children having fun, I hear them whoop and cheer; they are wrapped up snug and warm in their winter gear making giant snowmen with the first snow of the year. Spruce trees have a frosting of wonderful winter white Nature’s beauty surrounds us it is a glorious sight a robin lands upon a twig, it brings me such delight as it roosts for a while then suddenly takes flight. Deep soft snow has fallen and people must take care We should visit elderly neighbours and should be aware that some can’t get to shops so provisions we must share and we can do their shopping as they rest in their armchair. The temperature has dropped I can feel its bitter chill Little children do not mind as they play out on the hill they whizz on their toboggans it gives them such a thrill as I observe them having such fun from my windowsill I watch feather light snowflakes float down to the ground Rhyme time III contest Sponsored by Laura Loo 12/25/17

Jan, I hope this one placed really high. You did a superb job with the challenge!! Laura was sweet to give so many wins from first to third place. About that poem of mine you just saw, I went there just now and saw it required a number of lines. AT first it was ONLY that first poem!! So I quickly got the other one done in under two minutes. I couldn't believe it! That form is so easy to do! (not that I did a really great job of it. haha)
