First Snow
Soft and whispering
feathery flakes drift, waiting
for outstretched tongues.
Snow falls along bare branches and
slowly blankets the browning grass.
From the window,
tiny faces fog
the glass with hopeful breath.
Get your hats!
Get your mittens!
Out we go
to taste
winter’s first snow!
feathery flakes drift, waiting
for outstretched tongues.
Snow falls along bare branches and
slowly blankets the browning grass.
From the window,
tiny faces fog
the glass with hopeful breath.
Get your hats!
Get your mittens!
Out we go
to taste
winter’s first snow!
