Christmas High

Just a side note I hate the snow but love the Christmas season

The air is frozen with a chilly bite
Causing rosy cheeks and red noses
To appear before my fading sight
Will the snow fall before the day closes

Snow such a beautiful but tragic thing
It creates crashes and messes up the streets
But a feeling of Christmas it does bring
Making people smile at others they meet

A cheerfulness within iced hearts
As anger slowly melts into the past
A soft glow increasingly spreads and starts
All season long the warmth seems to last

Smiles given freely to strangers
Whom eagerly nod passing on by
Joyfulness spreads, people slow to anger
Giving the world an addictive Christmas high

Feels like the lyrics of old Motown records' songs. Trust me, it's a good thing. It's actualy very hard to write lyrical poems that are emotive to the particular subject. You've done it here. I just went and heard some of the J5 songs for their album 'Christmas'! Well done and thanks for sharing the merry.

PS. The little things I felt obscure or perhaps inconvenient were line 5 and line 15. Line 5 has a negative feeling to it, now we don't want it in a Christmas lyric. Line 15-- I just didn't understand what you're trying to say.

Keep writing.

Well in all fairness the snow doesn't cause crashes, it's the people who don't know how to drive in it. It can be annoying after a while but I do enjoy it on the Xmas eve and Xmas, makes it feel more like the holiday.
