A winter wonderland

Tiny white diamonds fall from the sky

Sparkling

Laying down

forming blankets

Which coat the land and trees in beauty

Hanging silently

Footsteps squeak and crunch beneath you

As you disturb its surface

Leaving a trail wherever you go

That is when you know

You can grab a handful

Make it into a ball

And throw it at your friends

Or

If you are nicer

Grab a sled

And sail down the hillsides

An endless supply of fun

The wind can be brutal though

cold

like standing in a freezer with an air conditioner on full blast as you taste below zero (Fahrenheit)

And when you come inside

Fingers and toes tingling and numb

Cheeks and nose kissed with blush

You will learn

Cold has a distinct smell

Which is sort of sweet
