Breath steams in icy air,
cheeks rosy with cold,
wrapped in hats, scarves,
gloves, boots -
thick woolly jumpers
knitted by Granny.
Ice on the ground,
puddles to smash like glass,
Jack Frost paints branches
and hangs icicles from the eaves.
Snow for snowball fights
or snowmen, or for trying
to build an igloo with only
two inches of scattered snow -
it might work!
Hot chocolate and mince pies,
Carol singing in the night:
"And we all want some figgy pudding
So bring some out here!"
