Chris Green Poet Acrostic

The First Snowfall

The First Snowfall

Twinkling, glistening
Happy the glow
Early this morning

For winter’s first snow
Illumined the shimmer 
Reflections of love
Softly they fall
Tiny flakes from above

Settling white
Neath an evergreen sway
Open your eyes
Windows bring the display
Frost covered whispers
Aloft they now flow
Lingering beautifully
Look at the snow
