Wintertide

Water flowing through the woodland

Leaves floating in the breeze

Peaceful chirping from the birds

As the water begins to freeze

Snowfall lands on the ground

Icicles form like disease

Creatures scutter into their burrows

As the people come along on their skis 

The sky becomes grey and dull

Wind picking up its pace

Shivers are sent through all 

As the cold makes chase 

People emerge from the snow

With frostbite all over their face

The woodlands have gone quiet

As the sun shows its grace 

There is now green here

Snow melting all over the place

Once bare branches are sprouting buds

As spring begins its embrace
