Chilly Hooves

She came so silently
following her sister Autumn
With her first chilly breaths
she blew gently into my face
The trees had already
went into a slumber
Covering the frozen earth
in a blanket of leaves
My hooves are cold with
her first touch
And I prance around merrily
trying to keep them warm
I squeal suddenly because
I feel something light but chilly
fall on my back
As I turn there is a thin layer of
white sky water on me
I gaze into the heavens
as it plummets to the earth
Even though I have met her for the first time,
I enjoy Winter’s surprises and the wonders
she brings
