Chapter 1 - Untitled
There we are, you in your... and me in my...
Strolling along the English boulevard
As summer changes into winter and
The flowers melt peacefully away into
Scaly dry hands that wave while we pass
And claw at window panes to startle napping
Oh, you know.
As we pass...
Following carelessly are our shallow footsteps
Imprinting the sheeted sidewalk to line the path
For Old Jack Frost to stalk along and breathe
His breath down the backs of our necks and
Thoughtfully place that snowflake on the tip
Of your pink nose.
Alone on that slippery avenue...
The snow on your buckle shoes shall not forget
Whence it came and will promptly remind you
Tomorrow morning when we dare to retread
The melting steps of today’s trek to recover
The earring which I lost along the way.
But don’t forget your hat.
Strolling along the English boulevard
As summer changes into winter and
The flowers melt peacefully away into
Scaly dry hands that wave while we pass
And claw at window panes to startle napping
Oh, you know.
As we pass...
Following carelessly are our shallow footsteps
Imprinting the sheeted sidewalk to line the path
For Old Jack Frost to stalk along and breathe
His breath down the backs of our necks and
Thoughtfully place that snowflake on the tip
Of your pink nose.
Alone on that slippery avenue...
The snow on your buckle shoes shall not forget
Whence it came and will promptly remind you
Tomorrow morning when we dare to retread
The melting steps of today’s trek to recover
The earring which I lost along the way.
But don’t forget your hat.

Oh, I love it! It's so very adorable. The system of rhyming in the middle fo a snetence or on the first word of the next adds to the dreamy effect, though it might be easier to read if you chop the sentences at the rhymes, lol. The last stanza just made my heart flutter, though, and the diction is startling ^.^!
