With grateful thanks to a wonderful poet who helped me perfect my poem

The snowflakes gently fall on gardens dull and grey. White blanket spread today the gusty winds bring squall. With snowmen built so tall young children love to play! Cold winter chills are felt. Of summer days we dream beside a sprightly stream. The icy snow will melt then nature’s charms are dealt and jeweled flowers gleam. To everyone’s delight our world’s no longer white.

As he sits on the bench thinking of the departed soul, The dark night rumbles ,making the owls silent, Then comes strange birds with fierce looks, ready to devour ,suck and cause panic in the city. Olusegun Arowolo. Date:9-20-15 Contest:Four lines

oh, what a cute picture you put with yours. Jan, your meter was flawless and that is what I felt was the strong point of yours. GREAT rhyme and sweet picture. I loved that last part (only those who adore winter will be disappointed by the ending couplet) Congrats in my contest.

I am grateful when the snow is gone - it looks lovely on Christmas cards but causes mayhem on our tiny Island - in 2012 it was so bad thousands of livestock perished:-(:-( hugs Jan xx
