Five blue, icy snowflakes
as pretty as a picture,
quietly floating through the chilly air.
Winter is here.
Four happy, white snowmen
as jolly as elves,
loudly laughing on the crunchy snow.
Winter is here.
Three frozen, beautiful icicles
as sharp as knives,
carefully hanging from wooden rooftops.
Winter is here.
Two calm, brown robins
as quiet as a mouse,
restfully perching on a glittering branch.
Winter is here.
One huge, bare tree
as still as a statue,
unexpectedly moving in the bitter wind.
Winter is here.
