Flowers of winterBlooms Whiter than snowAnd crimsonAs red as cardinal wings!Gold like the dawning lightGreen as a fir tree.December bloomsChrysanthemums. 

Chocolate fudge,Pecan pralines, peppermints, Divinity in sweet white fluffs,Candy canes, creamy caramels,Lollipops, truffles, sugar plums,Ah, the treats of the season!

Wood is ready for the fireBut still not neededToday the sun is warmThe watering can still out From summer daysIs blue, sad, unneeded,Firewood is happy for the reprieve!
