Write about Where Winter Came From

The Orgin of Winter

One day

the North Wind

sneezed

and a fine

frozen

white powder

blew out of his

nostrils and engulfed

half the world.

If he had only

covered his mouth

there would

be no snow

on my lawn

and I would

not need these

big mittens

today.

But how sad

the world would be

with no

big white eraser

to rub out the driveway

each December.

Winter is a

time to forget

all the

sweet sweaty things

that seemed

so important

in summer.

They now

sleep

under the

snow

dreaming

of

the

THAW.
