Snow Angels

To appreciate the beauty of a snow flake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.
Anonymous

We peeked thru a hole in the frosted windowpane
 
Squinted our eyes to view the pristine winter scene
 
In the virgin snow not a blemish nor a stain
 
And all the bushes snow-draped, not a sign of green
 
Not a soul in sight in the frozen wonderland
 
Undoubtedly the best playground we’ve ever seen
 
For the fresh powd’ry snow whiter than whitest sand
 
So we rushed with our cocoa and got dressed quickly;
 
Snow angels all around, snowmen by dusk will stand
 
And afterglow, smoke’ll emanate from our chimney
 
Thus overjoyed, with happy feet homebound we’d be!

First winter poem of the year...

#2020

I always dreamed of a snow white Christmas where it's all pristine and clean. No mar of dirt or mud but all is pure and crystal white.

Thanks for liking. Got to move where there's snow every winter. LOL

@Francis: In my dreams...hehehe

Ah…cool fresh breath of winter! And back breaking snow shoveling! Still the quiet, the fireplace, the season of joy music, family gatherings -simply are incomparable. Nice poem Brod. Love your winter poem series. Like.

@Nelson D Reyes Thank you Brod

I had been imagining this scene when I was a kid growing up in the Philippines. Love it brod!

We lived in New York and Virginia so we’ve seen quite a bit of snow. One time we were visiting my brother in Maryland and we got snowed in for several days. @Francisco Potato
