Winter Wishes

Angels in the snow
     Look around
          They’re all around
               Elf and cherub cheeks
Flapping wild wings with scarves, coats and laughter

Fantasy of evergreens
     Look around
          They’re all around
               Silver and Gold snow
And glorious stars stunning the hereafter

Whimsical lovers
     Look around
          They’re all around
               Ice cold skates in spin
Their dreamy hearts and lifts, sought after

White-bearded Santas
     Look around
          They’re all around
                With jolly tummies
Global doppelgängers with ho-ho laughter

It's beautiful lyrical verse, Kim, describing the magical winter enjoyments we wish for! I live in a snowy and cold country - I can imagine and relate to your wishes. Thanks for visiting my page. Love and best wishes ~ Mala

Creative lines you have penned in this contest entry. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. It is rare for us to have snow or ice, so we don't get the enjoyment that some have with these, but we don't have the disadvantages either. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

As long as those doppelgangers don't turn into dopey gangsters, those Santas can keep looking around all they want. :)
