An ode

The world has gone blue grey

A makeshift monochrome majesty

The hills roll as if to say

'We love this frosted sea'

The muffled crunch of snow underfoot

The icicles hanging free

Elder chimneys tinged by soot

Roads suddenly gleam

A new parka, fur so soft

The good boots, a little spendy

The hat holding my hair aloft

A mug of hot cocoa, so tasty

The winter can be cold and dark

A tendency towards lonely

But all these comforts give a spark

Helps the night feel toasty

So here I'll sit and watch the snow fall

Stacking upon my tree

What I wish is just for all

To get nice and cozy

For FunGratitudeinspirational

    The imagery of the blue-grey world, frosted hills, and muffled crunch of snow underfoot paints a vivid picture of the season's quiet beauty. It's a lovely reminder to find comfort and joy in the simple pleasures of the season.
