Ring around a rosy moon
Pockets full of mittened hands
Twilight sky in hues of blackened blues
Cold breath creating vapor clouds that drift in the crisp breeze, freezing tear-cicles in my eyes
Twinkles of little starlight dance amongst the parted skies revealing remnants of snowmen fading into lawns surrounded by buds longing to burst into daffodils
Cautious steps on hail slickened sidewalks tiptoe near the tulips emerging beneath the frozen soil
Spring continues to promise a glorious arrival if only winter would surrender its icy hold
