Beginning of Winter's Wonderland
A black sky of shimmering stars
light up the vast horizon at night.
A full, orange harvest moon is afar;
it looks close because it's so big and bright.
Virgin white snow, clean, pure, and fine
covers the lawn with a sheer, feathery blanket,
of fairy-dust glitter of diamonds that shine
where people are very reluctant to tread.
