SNOW

an evergreen tree
dons a frosty coat of white
its snow-laden boughs
hang heavy with winter’s tears
like incandescent pinecones

a jolly snowman 
with a Pinocchio nose
wears momma’s red scarf
its buttoned smile, coal black eyes 
and pipe, polished to a gleam 

I dance in the snow
as arctic breaths billow in
a mushroom of smoke
snowflakes faintly touch my lips
then melt in a puff of air
