Snow day
- by Sam D 60
Snow is falling to the groundPiling up in enormous mounds
School is cancelled for the day
Children run outside to play
Snowballs are thrown in the air
No one has any care
About school-only fun
Because the day is a snowy one
Snowmen are stacked very high
Their top hats almost skim the sky
To make them round they must pat
Then finish off with mittens and hat
As the weather gets cold
The children are told
To come inside and eat
Hot chocolate with a couple treats
Once the kids are done
They put on their gear for some more fun
Some of them play around
While other kids just lay on the ground
Another kid makes snow angels
Until the dog named Bojangles
Ran through his masterpiece
But then the owner yelled cease
After Bojangles
Ruined all the snow angels
Kids slid down the hill
'Til they were bitten by a chill
Almost over is the day
The children start to walk away
As snow falls, so does the sun
Time to go in, the day is done
Winter warmth
- by Sam 60
Piles of snow beneath my bootschilly winds blowing everywhere
snow keeps mounting on the posts
on the windows and on the roads
shovels outside,
soups inside
hot and rich,
chicken and corn
coming back from all the work
this is what I look for
the warm chestnuts,
the cracking fire
this is my winter warmth
