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

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.
