Coat of White
Winter put on his coat of white
Whispered to the wind
Come and dance with me
We will whirl and twirl
Across the country floor
Wind sighs in sweet refrain
Wraps her coat tight
Answered winter in delight
Come we curtsy and bow
Dance merrily on new found snow.
Winter put on his coat of white
Whispered to the wind
Come and dance with me
We will whirl and twirl
Across the country floor
Wind sighs in sweet refrain
Wraps her coat tight
Answered winter in delight
Come we curtsy and bow
Dance merrily on new found snow.

ReplyDeletePhyllis, as I sit at my computer and read "Coat of White," a smile rings across my face at he warmth and fun-filled partnership you have gotten winter and wind to strike up. This was well-written, fun, and very creative. I thoroughly enjoyed each line and verse. Thank you for sharing it and continued blessings!
