Notes About The Poem

Winter is Here

Winter is Here

Winter has come! (The season for fun.)
Sing with cheer to those near:
“Bring out the boots and tuques,
Parkas and scarves, mitts and snowsuits,
And long underwear,
And other paraphernalia of gear.
Winter is here!”

Snowflakes appear, falling out of the sky,
Thicker by the minute, blotting out the light.
Slowly they fall, softly they allay,
Covering the ground in a white duvet.

Snow angels are made where children play,
And snow people smile with roundabout shapes.
Snowballs are flung at each other in glee,
While pets bark and chase anything moving.

From atop the hill, children’s screams debut
Amid flailing arms in air of frosty blue,
“Get out of the way, we’re coming through!”
As the hill’s bottom comes into view.
