Notes About The Poem

Image result for skating in winter

Winter


Now the trees have lain down their emerald gowns,
     and last night Jack Frost rattled my windows;
oh, there was a mighty blizzard of falling snow,
     but in front of the fireplace I stayed cozy warm;
          that night winter arrived.
And morning was full of sweet bird twittering,
     everything looked so beautiful and magical;
the forest path was calling me to come,
     those places that once held leaves, held snow.
         Above the sky was azure blue,
snowflakes were moving, billowing and drifting;
     I wrapped my cozy coat tighter,
and soon, I came to a wonderland park of snow.
