The Forest in My Backyard

By Miles Latham
Hartford Memorial Middle School, Grade 8

The meadows dance in the wind.
The pines in the forest groan.
The snow gently glides to earth.
The moon casts white shadows through the trees.

As I continue to write by just the moonlight,
I sense the evening chill.
But I couldn't care about the cold less,
As this place is my second home.
