Angel's Breath
a frosty morning visitor
As morning bid adieu to night
I witnessed an angelic site,
a cherub in the birthing dawn
hop-hop-hopping across the lawn.
*
A woolen cap upon her head
with bunny ears of rosy-red,
her rounded cheeks, a pinkish hue
that matched her coat and moon boots too.
*
Along the frozen ground she danced
a squirrel watching, in a trance.
I heard her sing upon the breeze
that whispered through the glistening trees.
*
Her laughter came in puffs of silk
that twirled in air like frothing milk.
I heard her mama call her name
“Come, Angel. You must end your game.”
*
“It’s time we bless the coming day
and then we must be on our way.”
She ran into her mama’s arms
Who smiled at her endearing charms.
*
A frosty gust, then she was gone
though in the air, her song played on.
Her footprints left where she did pass,
Angel’s breath upon the grass.

Beautiful , I love the images of the animals . Cute
What beautiful poetry! I loved the comparison of the breath in the air to frothy milk- it was such a strong image and very original. I also liked how we as the readers cannot be sure whether the cherub was a real child or a supernatural being. Fantastic work!
Very airy and happy.
A playful entry-I wonder if today’s children still see magic everywhere.
Awwwww. This is adorable! 😍😍😍
