Winter's Wonders



Winter's white blanket covers the ground,
fresh fallen snow sparkling light to be found.
Wintry blush of rosy red cheeks on us all,
hustle and bustle shopping time at the mall.

Can't resist the temptation of making my mark,
footprints and angels in new fallen snow stark.
Slipping and running to ward off the cold,
Christmas time's coming just as in days of old.

Family and friends with warm hearts and cold hands,
share a holiday spirit all across this great land.
Football and Ice Hockey and warm toes by the fire,
children and grown ups decorate trees we admire.

Nights round the tables playing games till it's late,
snuggling close under comforters warm with your mate.
Silent nights children tucked cozy in their beds,
visions of sweet things like toys in their heads.

Wintry long nights and short days come to pass,
building memories of a lifetime you hope will last.

    Yes. This is nice. Your meter is a bit ragged here and there, but in this type of writing, who cares? I too like the pic. It seems to work with the poem somehow, although a picture of a horse pulling a sleigh would have worked too.

    All in all, good job.

    Thank you Sherry.That picture is of the Country Club Plaza of Kansas City.My hometown.They have a lighting ceramony and the one switch is thrown to light up the entire shopping district.I've gone to that event,every year from the time I was 5.I'm 56 now.I think they need to let me throw the switch once just for that reason.But it's always a sick or impaired child.I'm pretty childish though.There may be hope for me yet!LOL~~Thanks again~~Suseann
