A Winter's Night

Kari Lynn Olson

Acrostic
Winds that howl from the North/Northwest
Icicles dangling from the roof as We rest
Nights are long with a crispness in the air
Traces of smoke dance in a swirl without a care
Everything is protected in a blanket of snow
Rays from the moon produce a brilliant glow.
