Winter.

Winter

Winter begins now,
Icy lakes and frozen ponds,
People skate about.

Snowmen constructed,
Carrot noses and coal eyes,
Woolen scarves, woven gloves.

Drinks in the Willow,
Teas and ciders to warm yourself,
Fires bright in the hearth.

Snow, snow, ice, and snow,
Everywhere in the city,
Ice and snow falls white.

The white snow and ice,
Falls like a opaque blanket,
Painting the city.

The city silence,
The snow not yet treaded on,
Snow not yet sad gray.

Winter has begun,
Months of snow and ice await,
Woolen scarves and red gloves.​
