I watched it snow From the window Till dusky shadows Crept the meadows. From first faint light Until enchanted night Was a charming sight Of designed delight. Out of a blue-gray sky Flakes swirled to lie, Drifting crazily down Covering icy ground. Snowflakes sunflower size Nearly large as lemon pies Fleetly laid deeply a quilt, A sparkly white they built. Blustery moaning wind With snowflakes blend, Created flurries to rise In patterns of surprise. As dancers in bridal gowns Flakes rose to wind sounds, Merrily waltzing to the tune Before settling in a swoon. Twilight coldness freezes, No hint of gusty breezes, The scene is serenely still, Winter has spent it's thrill. From mirrored lily-pond Over the lake and beyond Spreads a soft silver sheen, The grandest I've seen. Tonight while I soundly sleep Moonbeams will softly creep Highlighting the silvery night Dressed so beautiful in white. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
