As white as sugar
as cold as ice
slippery and sparkly
oh, isn’t it nice
Soft, small, silent flakes
falling like tiny feathers
woosh, wash big winds
causing outrageous weather
Drinking hot chocolate
in a warm nice house,
slurping sugary marshmallows,
listening for a mouse
Smelling the smoky
firewood burn
as winter arrives
there will be no more ferns
Bundled up
cozy and tight
there’s no way
you will get frostbite
Winter is fun,
it’s cold all day
it’s nice to stay
outside and play,
No more staying
inside all bored
winter is waiting
to be explored.
