Snow covers the ground
as a white blanket
suffocating the plants
in the most decorative way.
Snow hangs on the leaves
as an overcoat
dehydrating the leaves
for a white Christmas.
Snow drapes on bannisters
as a flurry carpet
to send chills in houses
replacing expensive air conditioners.
Snow screams to children
as sirens
to get them to play and build
without having to pay for baby-sitters.
Snow fades away
as a faded dream
to be remembered only once a year
for it's always replaced with autumn, summer, and spring.
