Bob Quigley Poet Acrostic

Winter Wonderland

Walk across the frozen fields
Inhale the frosty air
Nap before a blazing fire
The tall tales that we share
Etching angels in the snow
Reward the inner child

Wage a friendly snowball fight
Obsess, let joy run wild
Nutmeg eggnog with cinnamon
Deep snowbanks edge the lane
Everything is fresh and new
Replacing autumns wane
Lakes attract the skaters
And to hills the skiers go, I'm
Never more alive then when I'm
Dancing in the snow

Judy Ball October 6, 2011 at 3:13 PM This is excellent Bob. The picture you paint is so beauytiful. I love the snow and every year while my girls were growing up we got out and made a big snowman in the front yard once a year. Of course they played in the snow all year but I made it a thing that they would remember me making a snowman with them once a year, Great job. Loved this. God Bless, JB Bob Quigley October 6, 2011 at 3:35 PM Thanks for your comments Judy. Won't be long now until I can live this poem.
