Jan Allison Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Wonderful Wintertime

Jack Frost is lurking; he’s nipping my nose
feather like snowflakes will soon start to fall
I stamp my feet - I can now feel my toes
winter will wrap her cloak around us all.

Soon I snuggle by the warming log fire,
outside the garden’s turning snowy white.
I watch the flames leap higher and higher
winter’s beauty is a glorious sight.

Children make snowmen in the falling snow
I watch them play; they are having such fun.
Their innocent faces are all aglow,
they stay outside until the day is done.

When winter departs, then in rushes spring
I love the changes each season will bring

Chris Green November 21, 2016 at 2:25 PM This was beautiful, fun and brought back some wonderful memories of my youth when I lived in an area that actually had snow in the winter. And always the best part about snow was...school was canceled. :) Nicely written Jan. Jan Allison November 21, 2016 at 2:39 PM I usually shy away from writing this form - thanks for the lovely comment Chris:-) hugs jan xx
