SNOWFLAKE

Author's Note: This piece is just for fun explaining what little kids might feel like on the first snowfall of the season. 
S now is falling, I can’t wait to get outside and play.

N othing stopping me, but the cold frosty air and my mom telling me no.

O nly one more hour of predicted snowfall; if only we could pass through time.

W et boots, snarly hair, and bright red cheeks are what I looked like last time I played in the snow.

F or me, a snowman is my best friend. Oh, how I can’t wait to build them.

L et me out already! I’ve had it! All day I have just been watching. I really want my boots to get wet, my hair to et snarly, and my cheeks to get bright red.

A lthough I want to have all the snow in one great pile; I can’t. The snow should all be mine.

K ids all around me are playing. Their parents obviously don’t know how cold it is outside, or they have no clue.

E ventually! It felt like forever ago that it starting snowing. I am finally able to go and build my best friend!

Wintery Peom

 Author's Note: In this piece we were asked to make a wintry word list and put it into a poem. I really like winter because of the pretty words you can use to describe it. 

Look out at the snow fall,
The kids having fun throwing snowballs.
Sparkly snow lines the streets,
With snowmen that I would like to meet.

Can’t you smell that fresh winter air?
And see the snowflakes in my hair?
The bitter coldness filling your skin,
Must bring a smile to your chin.

Santa working with all the elves,
Decorations are flowing over the shelves.
Stockings are hung on the chimney with care,
Hoping that Santa would give something rare.

Children sucking on their brand new candy cane,
With parents still trying to keep them maintained.
