Winter is here! The Masterful King
Sits high on his icy white throne
Watching his personal artist create
A work of art all of his own.
Welcome Jack Frost. It’s lovely to see
Such artistry of the highest degree.
The King breathes a misty cold sigh of self pride
At all that his kingdom bestows,
Then sprinkles pure magic on cotton wool clouds
And watches with joy as it snows.
Welcome young snowflake, dancing with bliss,
Casting a beautiful spell with your kiss.
The evergreen proudly projects his physique,
Determined to nobly remain,
Whilst all common cousins shamelessly flaunt
Their natural, naked frame.
Decorum, my darlings! You’ve no etiquette!
You’re really too brazen with your silhouette.
Meanwhile the authority of the great King
Keeps mischievous weeds at bay.
The shivering bulbs send snowdrops ahead
To check if it’s time yet to play.
Good morning young snowdrop, spring’s telescope:
Make way for the beautiful Princess of Hope.
