December

"Winter" by Grandma Moses

December 

by Aileen Fisher

I like days

with a snow-white collar

and nights when the moon 

is a silver dollar,

and hills are filled

with eiderdown stuffing

and your breath makes smoke

like an engine puffing.

I like days

when feathers are snowing,

and all the eves

have petticoats showing, 

and the air is cold

and the wires are humming,

But you feel all warm...

with Christmas coming.
