Winter
Birch trees so brown and whiteGlowing in the moonlightShaking treesIn the howling breezeThe tall treesHave falling leavesThere is a bird’s nestWhere it will restIt is so tallSo do not fallSleds sliding the snowSanta comes with a hoFrozen ice starts melting into waterAs it gets hotterThe skiWas near the treeFrom the top of the treeYou can see the seaThe beautiful streamIs like a dreamFrozen toesAre standing in the winter snowsThe snowman so tallHe may fallThe horse trudging through the snowFarmers do not need the hoeWhile bears go into hibernationThe beautiful carnation blooms
Santa’s hatFell on a catRudolph’s noseLit a hoseThat is how winter goes
