24 Decembers

24 Decembers
Arctic chill nipping at the bones,
Wintry white thickens the firmament,
Pale blue skies awaken the heavens,
Frost kisses the fingers and toes,
Eyelids caressed by snowflakes,
Wetting the ground like dew below,
Wind whistling a winter tune,
Tree limbs dance in a winter solstice,
Bon voyage to fall ties,
Pumpkin pie replaced by icicle pops,
Children's elation of school cancellations,
March like toy soldiers in wool coats,
Church bells sing Christmas carols,
And saturates the white night,
Orchestrating a glorious December morn.

I agree, a beautiful picture.. it's hard moving away from Autumn but I guess that's why it's called a season. Lovely imagery.."tree limbs dance.. children's elation". I don't see any snow on the mountain, but it's bound to come soon. It really reminds us we do have winter here..me-

I can see it all so clearly. It feels like Christmas here. Well done my friend! Did you see who was Sports Illustrated sportman of the year? Our very own Derek Jeter!
