The temperature drops

All the leaves blown off by Fall

In the morning, the children come to play

In the fresh fallen snow

That looks like a plush, soft blanket

Hugging the Earth

They build a snowman

Who is then wrapped up

In that old scarf and tophat

He smiles and watches

As the children laugh and play

And go o'er the hills on a sleigh

And have a snowball fight

That lasts all day

After they have gone away

The snowflakes fall

Each perfect, each unique

In their own way

The frost gently cloak the trees

Making them glisten

Under the Moon

Which shines over

The frozen lake's surface

That is smooth as silk

Until the drawings of various shapes

Made from the shoes that danced

On the surface

In the sky

The northern lights sway

And highlight the stars

With a mix of purple, green, and blue

That can be seen

For miles around

But when this comes to an end

The children look sad

As the snowman begins to melt

He continues to smile

And says there's nothing to fear

For I will be back again

Next year.
