Canal Walk

a winter day in January
ice was on the ground
we took a walk in frosty air
watched ducks on the canal

all was peaceful, all was calm
our rosy cheeks aglow
with winter sun low in the sky
it then began to snow

the beauty of this winter’s day
so clear for us to see
carving pictures in my mind
with words of poetry
