Winter's here!

When the misty clouds clings to trees

And the eerie winds gushes through leaves

And the sun is cast by a moorish frothy sea

The autumn retreats on the winter's entry.

The trickling water freezes in its bed

The horizon's not visible from far ahead

Small white mounds grows on all tall trees

As the snow takes abode on branches and leaves

Slipery are the slopes so tread lightly

The weather's so dull that I feel drowsy

Etched are the footprints on the shiny white sheet

After shivering in the cold take a sip of hot tea

Keep your ears tuned to hear the jingles

All families here together to mingle

Lurking around the corner is a brand new year

Merry and rejoice as the holiday's here!
