Winter’s Watch

notapoet

 

 

 

Fresh snow shimmering

Soft and of white

 

Like tiny diamonds

On a moonlit night

 

Icicles dangling

Like glassy eaves

Winking and swaying

In the midnight breeze

 

Jack Frost tiptoes, waiting

In a frozen pose

Giggling softly, eager

To nip another nose

 

Chimneys puff stories

From rooftops high,

Curling like secrets

In the chilly sky

 

Snow owl hooting

In pine-dusty boughs,

Winking at stars

Peeking over the clouds

 

Snowflakes conspire

With moonbeams and frost,

To tickle the night

Till all sense is lost.

              Although it doesn't snow here often, I did live in the north where I had enough for a lifetime 🙂 Appreciate the read.
