Short Poems for Kids ✍️

The air is damp and chill as clouds
the world is paper white

the moon and stars floated in flakes
to join us in the night

moonlight fell and all around
her space-cold face is glinting

with the dazzle-light, sky-light, white-light,
of a million night stars winking

the trees are iced and muted
and all seems strange, unknown

for every path is hidden
yet all the tracks are shown

and we’re held still by snowfall
no worries, bustle, rush

moon and stars on earth and sky
and in between a hush, hush, hush
