In the winter
It is quiet and cold outside
But in the winter
We burn fires and wear layers
We sing songs
And drink hot cider and wine
The winter is really the warmest time of the year
It is the time that we are all together
In the winter the trees look dead
But we have green holly and evergreens
We have bright red cardinals
In the winter the night comes early
But we stay up late and have grand dinners
or we snuggle under blankets and read books
In the winter our hearts are big
In the winter we watch our breath
In the winter we roar at the freezing cold
I hope you all like my original poem. I just wanted to mention that the characters I used for my illustration were borrowed from the book The Selfish Giant. Kudos to anyone who knows who Lisbeth Zwerger is.
