The Joys of Winter
by Theodore
Snowflakes falling onto the ground,
Into your yard without a sound.
When you wake up, they will
Cover the ground to your window sill.
Break out the shovels, winter has come.
Clouds have just blocked out the sun.
Backbreaking labor, isn't this fun?
It's snowing again before you're done.
Scrape the ice off your car
Then start cursing when it won't go far.
Lose your key and get locked outside,
Winter time, it's so divine.

Theo's thoughts on winter when he was nine.
Pretty impressive poetry, especially for a nine-year-old! He left out the fun of roof-raking, though. And constantly kicking off the built-up icy yuck in the car's wheel wells.
ReplyDeleteIf we lived a little farther north those things probably would have made it into his poem. I hear a lot about roof raking from my sister who lives in ME. I am not sorry that I get to miss that.
