Winter

W inter at times became a paradise lost-and-found  
I recall huddling over a static, crackling old radio
N ews announcement: School canceled tomorrow!
T he yard oh my the yard, buried in a blanket of quiet 
E ven the fence posts wear tilted, funny white hats
R abbit and sparrow tracks in the snow

Melancholy slips into my thoughts upon reading this... though I see the forced humor of the tilted, funny white hats. Excellent delivery !! Congrats on your win !!

Very nice Acrostic, Tim... delightful imagery - especially the hat wearing fence posts! If it was my house, however, there'd be Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire by Nat King Cole playing in the background... ohhhh the nostalgia.
