White Blanket



Trees draped from top to bottom in white.

From an all too wintry night.

Pure was the driven snow.

Sticking to all, coating a new.

White here, white there too.

Snow like a blanket on the ground too.

How deep I wondered was the snow?

From my perch I could not know.

I bundle from head to toe.

Ventured forth into the snow.

Pure white was the snow.

Blinding me as I ventured forward.

Blue skies now as the gray has faded.

A sun shines from the heavens.

The snow is deeper by the step.

Covering my ankles, my shins, all the way up to my knees!!

Cold is the snow but warm I am all bundled.

I stand before a big tree covered with its new white blanket.

I look up in amazement.

The tree shakes and down comes the blanket.

A snow storm just for me!!!

Oh so fun I get to play.

It crashes around me but never seems to stop.

Up and up the pile grows.

Now up to my nose!!

BBBrrrrr….the snow is so cold.

I wiggle and wiggle till I come free.

Boy that was fun for me.

I head to the next tree to do it all again.

Isn't winter just so much for me.
