Winter Coat

Winter decided to arrive early
he asked North wind to blow
his frosty breath over the ground
his huffs and puffs came hastily
tossing an scattering
fallen leaves of autumn.

Winter pulled on his coat
he laid a blanket of white
covering the ground in snow
his frosty look began to freeze
coating all within his sight
wrapping himself in for the season.

I really enjoyed your personification in this one. Still I have not discovered where I left off with you. OH my. So much time has gone by.

Hello Phyllis … A nice description of the beginning for what lies ahead. I can picture this scene even though I haven't seen snow for as long as I can remember - thank you Phyllis - Lindsay

First snow is so beautiful, but it came shockingly early this year to many states in north America and Canada. Fall ended too soon. I love how you personalised winter in your lovely poem Phyl. Happy Holidays! : ) xxoo
