If we make it through December
The hounds of winter barking
I’ve got my love to keep me warm
When carolers are larking
Making small footprints in the snow
In the gray, a hazy shade of winter
Roses from snow dot their cheeks, so cold
I won’t let it go, all the winter things
Lights, trees, and chiming bells that ring
My love is winter, no cold weather blues
A long December is what I will choose.

Cheryl, there is a lyrical quality to your poem, and a rebel spirit. I can see this being set to music.

LOVE the positive energy in this…..and all the titles used flow so well.
Especially am smitten with these lines:
“Roses from snow dot their cheeks, so cold” Just a great use of that title! I can picture rosey cheeks from the cold 😉
