Winter Feels
Eyes closed,
Snowflakes tickle my nose.
Hats hug,
Keep the ears snug.
Running free,
Towards the Christmas trees.
Snow falls,
Frozen feet will thaw.
Lights flash,
Metal sleighs will dash.
Coats drop,
Boots drip with slop.
Hot-chocolate warms,
Marshmallows melt and transform.
Cozy jammies,
Time spent with family.
Santa nears,
There’s nothing to fear.
Winter hovers,
Tucked tightly under covers.
Snowflakes tickle my nose.
Hats hug,
Keep the ears snug.
Running free,
Towards the Christmas trees.
Snow falls,
Frozen feet will thaw.
Lights flash,
Metal sleighs will dash.
Coats drop,
Boots drip with slop.
Hot-chocolate warms,
Marshmallows melt and transform.
Cozy jammies,
Time spent with family.
Santa nears,
There’s nothing to fear.
Winter hovers,
Tucked tightly under covers.
