Winter

 

You know it is coming by the colors

of the leaves changing upon the tree's,

The days start to become shorter

and foggy as far as the eye see's.

 

When the first cold Autumn morning

brings the first coating of Frost,

Makes everyone hurry to bring in the

gardens and crops no matter the cost.

 

Bringing to us the days that

are full of the brisk cold chills,

Showing signs of snow giving

everyone hopes of all the thrills.

 

Then comes the snow with all

of Mother Nature’s mighty cold,

The first time children hear the stories

of the fun begin to truly unfold.

 

Sleigh rides and toboggan runs

with hills full of children on sleds,

A parents wish come true as when the

fun is done the kids are ready for bed.

 

Then giving each other time to themselves

to settle down from the hectic workspace.

Now is the time for relaxation together sitting

in front of the dancing flames in the fireplace,

 

Careful of handling the wood for the fire

so you do not get a single splinter,

Even if you do receive a few you know it is

all part of this great season called Winter.

Michael,

I love this one. I do miss the winter to some extent but my kids miss it more. They loved the snow. The only problem was me rofl. Liked the beauty more than anything else. I have to admit the exhausted kid scenario pleases me more. ROFL

Wish I had a Fireplace now :)

Thanks for the Fun!

Michael thanks for another good poem of this time winter,pretty cool my friend. Thomas

Winter always comes. Sometimes it lasts longer than others. We need it and most kids love it.

Thank you Michael for sharing your poem with us,

I like winter as we stay more at home and have the opportunity to see our family.I like the colours of winter (grey sky, brown leaves, strong winds, maybe some snow-there is not much snow in Greece).
