In from the freeze
With a tiny nosesicle sneeze
Marshmallowy hot cocoa
To set me at ease
S’mores by the fireplace
Sitting on a shaggy rug
Snuggling up to my lover
For a nice wintry hug
Through frosted pane
A white washed scene
Jack Frost’s lovely blanket
World made pristine
Crystal ballerinas
Pirouette in the wind
A winter ballet
Too soon to end
Each dancer unique
Their patterns sublime
As they sway to music 🎼 in
Perfect harmonic time
Slip off my shoes
Wiggle frosty toes
As a crackling fire
Eases my woes
First frost of the season
A time to reflect
Thankful for a hearth
The cold to deflect
