Best Winter Wonderland Poems

~  My favorite Thanksgiving memory was, quite simply, a walk at my grandparents house - I'll never forget how nature spoke to me that day about what is truly important, what I'm most thankful for.  ~ 



The snowflakes cling so softly to my...

The fruit smoothie spun on the smoothie machine,
as I looked out the window at large snowflakes falling to the ground
I watched, as I was led into a peaceful trance
No thoughts to weigh me down, a light moment lifting my heart
Later, I went outside where the...

Snow flurries are swirling faster and faster,
soon a blanket of white covers the ground,
Robin redbreast pecks at the cotoneaster -
where bright red berries still can be found.
Filigree snowflakes fall without any sound

Freshly fallen snow... a carpet of white
Blinding pure covering... satin on fields 
Under crystal stars bright in clear moonlight
Blowing snow gathers into drifts and yields
Scattering of dreams that faithfully wields
Layers of hope which conformity shields

Majestic wonderland... a winter scene
Captures a powerful wondrous glory
Mother Nature's creation...

The season decorated in dazzling white
Her Pale moon drifting high into the night
Sailing over powdered dreams 
Of fields ,forests and frozen streams 


Shooting frozen puffs of breath and steam
Gliding along a fantasy world of winter scenes
Scintillating snow whispering” here comes the queen”
Mother nature stalks her...

Soft she slips into the wood,
Garlanding brush and branches,
Spreading out her lovely cloak,
To cover posts and fences.

Now she drifts into the yard,
Making all things bright,
Swathing each and every thing,
In a mantle of pure white.

The roses in my garden,
Will sleep through Winter's night,
Beneath their mantle made...

I woke up early one cold winter's morn;   *
A ray of light had roused me from my sleep,
And gazing at the rose-pink blush of dawn
My eyes excitedly began to sweep
Across the frosted landscape to the deep
Soft bed of snow on fields and hillside...

Nearby are we to a beautiful lake,
the deepest one in the whole USA.
A trek to its rim we’re ready to take
on this wonderful snowy winter’s day.
Wearing our snowshoes, by sunlight’s first ray,
we go round Rim Drive; we’re well on our way!

At Windy Ridge, we can...

A December sun sends splendiferous rays
to illuminate Dawn's Halo of light.
And bright sunbeams polish the dullest days,
dissolving darkness imposed by the night.
But shadows can't appease Sol's appetite;
and He rises to consume night outright.

Ice crystals sparkle, and snowflakes glisten
as first light puts Winter's white on display.
And...

It began on a January day
as the trees coated in lily white snow  
forgot summer and all its precious sway   
Lost in a dream of frosty sparkle glow   
my winter wonderland revived in toe 
while I pressed my nose against...

White is the landscape as far as I can see.
Ice is the brook that is in close proximity.
Nights are much longer than the days.
Toward the south is the bird that no longer stays.
Everyone is aware of the time of the season.
Roosting is indoors, and the...

A bountiful bevy of beautiful birds flew by
Their soft and shining silhouettes eliciting a sigh

They dipped and dove and drew pictures in the air
That delightful , dazzling, December day so fair

The snow so softly settling on the sated ground
Cheeky, chattering, calling birds the only sound

Silvery...

Frozen wonder scene
Snow dusted trees evergreen
Icy blue mountains...

Snuggled and hunkered down in winter clothes

Nestled warm in a winter wonderland

Only parts in sight are their eyes and nose

Wee ones out to play who can barely stand

The world has changed, everything covered in white,
reflecting every beam of sunlight.
What lies beneath is for now sleeping tight.

Winter brings back old childhood memories.
The whole world turned into a giant playground.
Red cheeks, frozen fingers and sleds and skis,
and igloos where we could never be found.
The...
