White Christmas

How exhilarating to observe
All around the white snow as it swerved,
Around the towering dark fir trees,
That grew richly on slopes in the breeze.

Below a small farm provided heat
Food was plentiful so that friends would meet.

The scene soon stopped, but there was still hope,
I took my toy and shook the snow globe.

Snow fell. The crib lit.  I dreamt of a luscious feast.
It’s White Christmas again.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 12/4/2024 1:25:00 AM Snow globes have always fascinated me and I also have one and love shaking it so it stands next to the Christmas tree every year. I love Michael Buble's Christmas Show whose theme is always cozy, and Christmas decorations everywhere which always somehow or somewhere shows snow. He is one of My favorite singers and reminds me of a younger version of Frank Sinatra, both crooners. Wonderful poem my friend. Blessings Jennifer. Login to Reply
