First Snow Poem by Chris Embrick

Outside my window seasons change
the snow arrived after the rain
gray eddies swirl, caught in the breeze
like gosling down clings to the trees
last Summer hung around too long
this Fall seemed short now that it's gone
anticipated with delight
this Winterscape of purest white
despite the cold, my heart is warmed
by the beauty of this Winter storm
just weeks from now I'll long for change
look forward to the warmth of Spring
the flowers, birds, and butterflies
and leave behind these cold, gray skies
until once more in seasons flow
I long again for Winter's snow.
