Use these words in a short story or poem: icy, horse drawn carriage, heat.
I’ve shared mine below.
Winter Treat
An arm to steady me as I tread on the icy path
Thick warming coats help keep the cold at bay
The ground glistens in the early morning sun
I so wish I could stay beside the hearth
My husband’s hands raise me gently upward
Into the horse drawn carriages interior
A winter ride along country lanes
My breath visible with words uttered
With a tartan blanket across our knees
The driver cracks the whip high in the air
The carriage jolts forward as we snuggle
My smile shows he has successfully pleased
Rosy cheeks and laughter are the heralds
For our return with the noon day sun
The heat of the fire is most welcome
A clink of glasses to wintertime.
