In the middle of summer
I’m dreaming of winter
Of white landscapes
And giant snowflakes
On the frosted window
Dreams on my pillow
Tomorrow’s the day
We’ll take out the sleigh
Ride over valley and hill
For sure we will
Past snow-clad pines
While sparkling sun shines
The horse’s bells ring
Our merry hearts sing
We’ll build a snowman
A true wintry showman
Look, his nose is a carrot
There sits a parrot
Who flew out of his cage
It’s quite a rage
To view this sight
This is not right
It’s bitterly cold
The parrot is bold
As well as foolish
For soon he will perish
He wants to speak
But starts to shriek
Anguish internal
Shrieks infernal
Filling my aching ears
With blue-murder fears
I yell out “Shut up”
And instantly wake up

Beautifully penned dear Irina.
I absolutely enjoyed the rhythmic games, assonances and dissonances and the eloquent metaphors..
As well as foolish/ For soon he will perish .
He wants to speak/ But starts to shriek
Anguish internal/ Shrieks infernal
In the meantime ,giant snowflakes keep on slipping on the frosted window
