The Snow and Fire

The Snow

The roof is covered with ice,

Our trees are full with frost.

The birds rest in their birdhouse 

It seems as a good nice winter,

The fireplace is a cracklin,

the moon is full and bright.

The stars are just there twinklin,

It seems as a perfect night.

The wind gusts knocked my door,

blowing the snow around.


The fire goes out;

the thinking goes on,

in the air of politics

The streetlight twinkled

I looked out the window to see a dimming glow.

I drank my hot chocolate,

which warmed my body.

Then, like snowflake moving around

Moving to the white night...
