Snowflakes Frolic Upon My Nose

When snowflakes frolic upon my nose,

sparrows huddle in near naked trees

and cardinals sing their joyful prose.

*

The sunshine withers as darkness grows,

and waves crash down in cold, glacial seas,

when snowflakes frolic upon my nose.

*

Red robins flee as the north wind blows,

while woolen scarves fly high on the breeze

and cardinals sing their joyful prose.

*

Down hills, with frozen fingers and toes,

children race on toboggans and skis,

when snowflakes frolic upon my nose.

*

Houses shine bright with holly and bows.

while people sip their peppermint teas

and cardinals sing their joyful prose.

*

In mother nature’s silent repose,

crystal lakes sport their seasonal freeze,

when snowflakes frolic upon my nose

and cardinals sing their joyful prose.
