Winter

Winter: 

 

As frosty winds whisper, wrapping us in fear,

In winter's grasp, we gather near.

Underneath the snow-cloaked rooftops

We find warmth in each other.

 

With joyous carols and cheers 

We cherish moments held so dear.

Celebrating sacred and secular days, 



 

We build snowmen in the cold,

Their icy smiles, a sight to behold.

Then inside, by the fire's glow,

Sipping hot chocolate while cherishing memories,

We make cookies and meet by the tree. 

 

Eagerly, hoping to catch Santa and his deer,

We wait by the Christmas tree.

Counting down the days, hour by hour,

As Hanukkah candles flicker,

Some celebrate Kwanzaa.

 

On New Year's Eve, we stay awake,

To greet the dawn, we stake our hopes, as the past becomes a memory

Together, we say goodbye to the old year.

 

Through winter's chill, we endure the cold,

Telling stories through cheers and laughter. 

For in this season, we find our way,

Together, through each night and day.

  • Reach for the Stars!

    Author's Note: This story isn't exactly mine to tell. One day, I came home from school, crying because I got a huge blister (this happened in elementary school) and the blister spread across my entire palm.

  • Take Me Away

    Author Bio: I wrote "Take Me Away," when I felt swamped with a growing list of things to do. It made me miss the days, in the pandemic when I’d run around the backyard, screaming “I’m bored!”

     

  • I'm Here!

    Author's Note: This poem was actually inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem, "I'm Nobody! Who Are You?" I was experimenting with rhyming schemes, and then I read Emily Dickinson's poem.
