Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland 12/28/2018 The clouds are gathering over our heads, With the frigid air, we have come to know. Tells us to stay cuddled, in our warm beds, While outside, white gossamer flakes of snow Floating on, circulating winds that blow To begin, again, a white winter show The leaves of fall, are being covered up Will soon disappear, on the winter ground We're drinking hot chocolate, from a cup Outside, there are no other souls around Our snow boots call, to us, without a sound Snow is trapped, by trees, as it's earthen bound Snow is frozen there, beautiful to see White has covered all, white's to be our fate Outside, walking, is where I long to be Pull on those snow boots, don't you dare be late To be the first prints, in the snow, is great The snow crunches, below you, from your weight Looking back, to where you have walked, is grand First footsteps in this winter wonderland Winter Wonderland Contest Sponsored by: Emile Pinet

Congratulations Franklin, your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest, due to the exacting syllable counts and perfect rhyme requirements this contest was very tough to judge, well done my friend, Emile.

Thank you so much Emile. I have never written a poem, with such tough requirements, before. I was pleased with it when I was finished, but I had some places in it that made it hard to keep the rhythm, at times, when read aloud. Thanks again and Happy New Year.
