Winter Poem by Molly Lenehan

Ice crystals paint the path,
and leaves overthrown by winter's wrath.
Frostbite nipping away at your nose,
sends icy feelings down to your toes.

Jack Frost makes his presence known,
giving every soul a chill down to the bone.
Wind's howling symphony whistles through thin air,
It's hard core sonata that strikes like a bear.

Bright lights are now strung among the town,
ever-greens falling down to the ground.
Christmas eve 24th hath December,
the one holiday that brings back joy some remember.

Feet of snow come on the hour,
we're all covered by winter's icy shower.
The diamond stars and ice cold moon.
Those who dream of the Spring that is yet to come soon.

The shorter days and longer nights,
snow that falls upon mountain heights.
When all the furry creatures disappear,
you know its that freezing time of year.

Now the winter world will fade and so,
the dazzling trees and flowers grow.
First Spring, Summer then Fall,
and then again the most freezing of them all.
