December Poem

Editor's Note: Our thanks to Kim Kalil for sharing a December poem with TI Life Readers.
A Cold Winter’s Night
Blustery gusts
Commanding the snow
Into powdery spirals
That dance in Moon’s glow
Down on the river
Ice forms from the shore
Stretching into the bay
Such a grand crescent form
With each icy bite
River ripples expand
That large frozen sheet
Farther from land
The ice how it chatters
As it shifts and it grows
Forming copious lines
Of steely gray rows
And as the Moon rises
On its orbital track
The stars start to pierce
The velvety black
The cold bitter winds
The clear winter sky
And a twinkly horizon
Say bedtime is nigh
