Winter

Winter

The crisp white frost upon the ground

The ice laid thick on the window sill

Listen, oh listen, but not a sound

See the breath blow, embracing the chill.

 

Children pulling on their mittens

Buttoning up their thick winter coats

Getting ready to head outside

Oh the smiles on their faces.

 

The wind gets up and the children start to cry

Their Mothers calling them from afar

Off to school they have to go

Trundling through the crispy ice.

 

The longing to get back out to play

Crunching over the thick frosty floor

Rolling around with great delight

Oh the winter has come, oh the winter has come.

this is fantastic! "oh the winter has come, oh the winter has come." how marvelous! this is a great poem! beautiful imagery; i love the thought of tormented children, to the point of crying because they have to go to school and can no longer play in the snow! great great write!

All I can think of when reading this poem is, "I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for snow!" This is very, very good!

love winter!

This is well done. I too am curious to why the rhyme was not carried throughout or left out of the first stanza... it was a little odd and make the read a little less enjoyable but not much. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the read!

winter is just two steps away....

Very nice why did you rhyme the first quatrain but not the rest?

I like this, makes me look forward to winter and that's something I don't usually do. Great write :)
