October 21, 2007 by Keith D Allison The breath of noon draws near the wind plays a song on the window Winter is here come watch me, make the snow dance   The scalded milk flows into the cup the smell of chocolate as small white marshmallows celebrate the cup and I move towards the window to watch this show   The Mountain in the distance hidehi in a haze of gray the trees along the creek display their new coats, with colors to dazzle the eyes   The fenceposts with their new caps of snow a blanket of white is being drawn across the field alone pumpkin sets astonished his face is not made up yet for the coming holiday   I drawback smelling the pinion pine hearing crackle of the fire knowing one of my poems was read today   Life the beauty of the first snow the small wonders of the day the treasures of the mind and soul   10/21/2007 Posted on 10/21/2007 Copyright © 2024 Keith D Allison Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/21/07 at 11:10 PM Brrrrrr! What a wonderfully descriptive poem of the first snow of the season. (It hasn't even frosted here as yet!) Hot chocolate and fire in the fire place sound so very inviting! Posted by Alison McKenzie on 10/22/07 at 06:22 AM Oh. This is a taste of heaven as I imagine it. I love the hush the first snow puts on the worlds, forces everyone into quiet repose because if enough snow falls, everyone stays put and snuggles in. Mmmmmmm.
