Winter

Snow
Falling
Thick and fast
Ever whiter
Till all trace of man simply disappears

Ice
Gripping
The frozen lake
In winters tight vice
While children slip and slide in abandon

Feast
Table
Sags heavy
Heady aroma intoxicating
As diners wait in anticipation


Gifts
Waiting
Under green fir
Wrapped tightly with care
Torn asunder in joyous excitement

  1. Very evocative. I have never experienced a proper winter yet, since I'm from the southern part of India. Hope to see a snowfall for real someday!
