Blizzard swirling across land

Howling like a noisy band

Fire is are only light

As we sleep through stormy night

Snaps and pops from fireplace

Hissing logs and flames quick race

Wind is beating at brown door

Children snuggled on wood floor

Spotted kitty in my lap

Keeps me toasty in cold snap

Brown dog draped across my toes

As I drift in winter doze
