The Park Bench At Christmas

Sitting on the frigid feeble symmetrical snow              *               *   *
Watching snowflakes amidst the afterglow                        *                     *
On a permafrost park bench we've come to know    *             *    
With hands, toes & bottoms benumbing below      *           *         *
                                                                                                               *                  
And the trees painted pearly wonderland white           *       *                 
Upon reflections of Christmas coming ever bright    *       *          *        *                     
Layered back with my red hat this wintery night             *      *   
Whishing the sun will sleep in before waking light       *              *          *        
                                                                                    *
Feeling like I’m sitting on a crispy comfy cloud      *      *         *
Where the branches display their beauty proud               *      *      *         *
Hoping that the snowy streets not get plowed               *     *
Wanting to scream Merry Christmas to all aloud.     *                 *            *
                                                                                                    
                                                                                     *               *
                                                                                            *                 *

Winged Warrior, the poem - gorgeous, the snow at the side, delightful, the snow actually snowing from the top - a distraction that made me stop hating winter today and I am really sick and in a little "hate" mood, so this is big. Thank you for reminding me to be nicer.
