Snow

I wake up bright and early

There is snow on the ground

I hear the sound of snow being whoosed in the wind

Large chunks of snow sticking to the windows

I hear the phone ring for a snow day

I rush downstairs

I start dressing for the cold winter weather

Snow Pants,

Winter Jacket,

Snow Boots, 

My hat and mittens. 

I rush out the door

I look…

Fresh,

Fluffy,

White,

Untouched snow.

I now feel the cold breeze

Blowing against my neck

Giving me the shivers

It’s winter again at last.

  • Starry

    As I step outside onto the front porch,
    All that's there is the dark night sky and the cold midnight breeze on my face.
    I feel alone,
    There’s nothing,
    I see nothing,
    I feel nothing. 

    But then,
    I look up.

    If I could break a world record it would be how many animals I could rescue in a year. There are many animals around the world that are either being abused or taken out of their habitats.
  • Rainbow

    At the end of the rainbow,
    Where the color meets land,
    Wonders happen.

    Some say there is no such thing. 
    Others believe there’s gold. 
    Or maybe there’s a whole new world.

    Walking through the wide open field.
