Cherry cheeks and flushed faces,
Scarlet scarves and loose laces.
Chocolate drinks and a snow flurry,
To the hearth the children scurry.
****
Sopping socks and muddy mittens,
Flickering flames and cuddly kittens.
Chocolate drinks and a snow flurry,
To the hearth the children scurry.
****
Glories of stories and roars of laughter,
“Shall we read one more chapter?”
Chocolate drinks and a snow flurry,
To the hearth the children scurry.
****
Warm blankets and a game of chess,
No one cares about the mess.
Chocolate drinks and a snow flurry,
To the hearth the children scurry.
****
Snuggling together as the days comes to a close,
They’ve had a good day as every face shows,
Because of chocolate drinks as the snow flurried,
And to the hearth the children have scurried.

I have a question...what is snow? I mean, I've lived in north Carolina for over two and a half years and seen almost no snow!!
The poem is very nice...it's very peaceful and I bet that lots of people would like it!!
The line 'to the hearth the
The line 'to the hearth the children scurry' has a wonderful ring to it. A hearth is such a special thing to begin with....
Scurrying reminds me of mice scurrying around a stone kitchen floor. The repetition of that line is good as well. It's a simple thing to say, 'to the hearth the children scurry.' To highlight that phrase makes me as a reader notice the simple thing which I might otherwise have passed over, and enjoy it. Nice job!
