The Snow Ball

When Autumn leaves of burnt sienna
slowly spiral down from the trees;
I hear the music of Vienna
gaily dancing upon the breeze.

Then lace snow flakes fall down all round
as pretty planets whirl and waltz
and weave the world a snow ball gown
all trimmed with tinselled Christmas schmaltz.

And then, as the dance advances
and the world is slowly warming
as in all the best romances
Spring and Summer bring Prince Charming.

Thank you, Jenny. I've always liked the music of Johannes Strauss II, aswell as the use of the Waltz as a recurring motif in Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and so I really wanted to write a poem about the Waltz of the Seasons.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

A really lovely poem, 'Then lace snow flakes fall down all round as pretty planets whirl and waltz and weave the world a snow ball gown' beautiful imagery.
