Week 25: Winter time-Bover

Snow
McKenzie Bover

Brattleboro Area Middle School, Grade 7

As the snow falls to the ground,
I wipe off my frosty window,
To see the thin sheet of white,
It thumps to the trees so lightly,
It makes a decent ending on my front lawn.

When it falls from the sky,
It turns the earth to a wonderland
And it chills the air so fast,
So much to see and not enough time,
Snowing and snowing.

Some people don't like snow
Others adore it,
Kids play in it, and adults
Snowmen and snowballs and igloos, too,
Little white flakes fall from the sky.

As the snow falls to the ground,
I wipe off my frosty window
To see the thin sheet of white.

Comment

I am writing in response to "Winter Time" by McKenzie Bover.

Please allow me to say first that I enjoyed your piece very much. Being a fellow winter-lover I like to hear others praising that time of year and not complaining. Your writing was very well structured and used excellent adjectives to describe your feelings. Keep it up!
