Winter Porcelain
When the water bubble trembled
All the forces of winter assembled
With frosted lids they stand guard
To dress the traveller in ice shard
Layer by layer, inch by precious inch
The round film froze with every pinch
Frost dressed the globe in tiny flakes
Producing a miracle for heaven sakes
Winter-made porcelain on fine display
Twinkling, not trembling, there to stay
Glistening brightly in cold light of sun
Wondrous beauty comparable to none.
