Autumn’s graying face
Sunshine taking cover
Landscape’s serenity
Going undercover
Snowflakes in forecast
Temperatures plummet
What will overnight bring?
Joining winter’s summit
Morning cold descends
Snowfall blankets each road
Nature playing her cards
Covering each zip code
Snow calls in favors
Wintertime’s gifts galore
Arctic airstream arrives
Drafting each snowplow corps
Winter’s carousel
Endless fun disembarks
Children grab toboggans
Sledding’s snowy footmarks

Bright afternoon blues began to darken
Winter’s cold blanket prepares to descend
Snowflakes twirling and dancing, at first glance
Ol’ Man Winter, with a message to send
Grandfather clock proclaims each passing hour
Intricate flakes, magnified in their size
Winter’s harsh intensity growls and howls
Like a hungry wolf, seeking his one prize
Outside, barren landscape feels overwhelmed
Pristine white now nature’s color tonight
Modest cabin remains toasty and warm
Ancient kitchen stove consumes wood all night
Staying indoors, cozy and safe
Snowy frenzy roars, no ending in sight
Minutes turn to hours, forwarding to days
Snowbound but home, never a hopeless plight
