Notes About The Poem

*Inspired by our first snowfall the other day.

Winter's Hello

In the early morning, winter says hello
Leaving a soft dusting of fallen snow
It lays on the colorful leaves around
Sprinkled white, to the mixture on the ground
In a snap of cold air and wind blowing through,
There is a merging of the old with the new
Taking steps on the sparkling surface of white,
Makes way for the colors, covered in the night
All peeking through winter’s hello, into sight
With a daybreak reminder, everything is alright
