It’s official!  At 11:28AM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr


Winter, in the morn, appears

Enticing everyone, with a flurry

Awakening the slumber of snowmen

Children, frolicking, on dunes of white

Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate

While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace

Longing for the first day of spring

Sensational snowflakes

Scintillating sparkles

Slowly swirling, sinking

Stratospheric splendor

Seductively swaying

Symmetrically sublime

I wrote this in 2014.  Today is #NationalFrenchToastDay.  I thought I’d share it again  🙂


I still don’t have the answer
To a question asked
So long ago
Why do you buy milk, eggs and bread
When someone mentions snow

Does this sinfully sweet
Breakfast fare
Make us become a little manic
If we don’t get the ingredients
Do we all begin to panic

Do the slices of bread
With their cinnamon swirl
Remind you of riding a sled

Or the soft golden butter
Melting over the top
Remind you of warm days ahead

Do the fluffy white flakes
Falling down from the sky
Remind you of powdered confection

Or the syrup that’s oozing
Dripping over the sides
Remind you of sweet perfection

I want to know the simple truth
About this French Toast story
I’m pretty sure it’s not just snow
That gives it all its glory

 

 

Here’s the original story that asked the burning question: What Is It About Snow & French Toast?

A Hint of Winter ~ #poetry

The chill in the air, ever so slight

A hint of winter’s calling

Barren lay the autumn trees

Their leaves no longer falling

The smell of fires burning

Lovers, warm beside the glow

Crystals form on window panes

From the touch of newest snow

Frosted evergreen needles

Red berries shimmering bright

Seasons changing once again

Ever so quickly, overnight
