Letter to Santa Claus
The kindest grandfather in the world
Fulfills all dreams!
Cupcakes, lollipops, candy?
Bring what you want!

Doll, dress, bear,
plush bunny,
A book about cars
Bright mosaic.

Only I won't ask
Not a single toy
I will ask my grandfather
Quiet so in your ear

Bring me at night
A small bouquet of roses?
Need very, very much.

So we want our mother

On him with his brother themselves
Haven't been able to accumulate.

To cause tears
Mom didn't have it.

For us to have her
Cheerful and beautiful.
Give me full health.
And I'll be happy"


Blizzard-ballerina

And there is a reason for this.
Blizzard-blizzard, you dance
And circling like a ballerina!

You play very clearly
Like a violinist.
Such a wonderful concert
We give you smiles!
***
hardworking blizzard
Santa Claus waved his broom
The blizzard has risen!
Wrapped up like a bee
Started to work.

Like a young cook
Sifted all the snow!
Cleaned up the park
She hid in a cave for the night.
***
Blizzard in a silver fur coat
Blizzard in a silver fur coat
Went out for a walk
Howling, screaming and whistling
Started to dance

And sparkled and sparkled
Raising the snow loach.
Rushed into the ravine and climbed
On a snow-covered boulder.

The blizzard got tired in the dance,
Downhill went to bed
And under the crust, as if under a shell,
Climbed to take a nap
***
The wind invited the blizzard
To a beautiful ball
In a waltz quickly spun
Her. Charmed.
***
Winter storm
The blizzard twists and turns!
As if angry at the city!
Lifting snow into the air
Starts your run!

All sweeping away on the way
He wants to take over the city.
And dance and howl
Woe to those who do not close

Windows of your house.
All a curtain of snow
Covers. You don't howl
Do not circle like a swarm of bees

After all, we are not afraid of you
We sit down to drink hot tea.
Opening a jar of jam
And we sing softly.


***
Snowstorm
Who swept the paths
Cars hidden in a blanket?
Fluffy cat tail
Covered your white trail?

Cunning blizzard
Walked here at night.
Like a sorceress
Wrapped up in blankets

Houses, trees, lights.
swept with a broom
Yards are all inside.
Everywhere she was!


***
What a marvel? a house in fur,
And the trees are all down.
Blanket soft and gentle
Everything is covered in white.
