As the cold winter air touches my nose The white snowflakes comes down in a rush When they hit the ground – all turn into slush My face and my nose are like a red rose A deer runs by and stops quick in a pose I round up the dogs and tell them to mush A bellowing wind blows in like a gush It howls like a wolf – that’s how it goes
Along the way I hear a shrill call All the birds of the forest take flight In the distance I spot a large tree fall Suddenly I pause and then turn to the right The woods look like a forbidding dark wall As my journey proceeds into the night

About this poem:
This is my sweet daughter Meriwether, the baby. It's short she was 12 when she wrote it..now 23 and about to be married..times trudges on!
Beautiful. So good for one so young. Sometimes, poetry really is a gift, passed down through generations.

JeanieMac...you are so right, it's like lore. I am so thankful my grandmother and mother and father passed down my Celtic heritage! And, of course, I passed it down obediently!

This poem is so beautiful from one so young, what a talent! I could hardly spell at that age let alone write poetry.

Odette, this child was blessed with a 5th grade teacher that held a class in poetry! I also taught her to read, write and spell in homeschooling. Both seemed to have took! Thank you!
