About this ebook
The first snowflake of the season falls gently from the sky, bringing with it the warmth, magic, and joy of the season. When the aroma of pine trees and warm cookies fills the air, you know that the season of giving has returned. Cuddle up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa and a warm blanket as you enjoy this collection of twenty-five poems.

Snowflakes
snowflakes
tumbling down from the
sky
freefall freefall freefall freefalling
from the sky
whispering thru the misty crevices of our minds & bringing the cool surmise winter wind blowing & the sky, ice gray with the wonder…fluffy snow gathering on the branches of the trees & wind nipping at my skin…snowflakes on windowsills
wind
