Happy New Year everyone! I've been off the blog hop scene for nearly a month now, and it is SO good to be back! Hope all of you are well! When I think about winter, I think about snow and hot chocolate and building snowmen. I began looking back through some of the things I wrote in high school and came across this poem which I decided to share with you all. No spankings, though! Would have killed my Creative Writing teacher! It is a bit rusty but I left it as is. When I read it I remember exactly what it felt like to be a kid on a snow day!

Gingerbread Houses

Noses press against cold, frosted glass
as we eagerly watch snowflakes fall from heaven .
No two angels are exactly alike.
Our winter wonderland possesses a beauty
never seen before.
It seems wrong to mar it, this white paradise,
but it’s a gift, and we’re going to enjoy it.
So feet pitter-patter out the door
where we simultaneously say hello and goodbye
to this perfection.
The clock is ticking on our day of rhapsody
and we shoot out the door like horses.
I can feel your hands on my shoulders,
pulling me to the snow, helping me make an angel.
When your back is turned I make a snowball
and launch it at your face as you turn.
Like a tiger, you’re ready to pounce,
and I jump up to begin the game of “catch me if you can”
that lasts for what seems like hours.
Finally, we are too numb for laughter
and go inside for fresh-from-the-oven gingerbread
and hot cocoa,
and I know that this day was made just for us. 

Enjoy the rest of Cold Hands Warm Bottoms!!
