Memories of Winter
by Aidenn A. Spelling
Cool air greets us all
From mid to late September
The type that brings smiles
And tons of holiday fever
Many children cannot wait
For a spectacular ending
Twelve months of waiting
Everyone anticipating
Then as the year turns over
In the blink of an eye or two
Back to work, back to the grind
Blue skies turn into grayish hue
We work night and day
As darkness takes over
It cloaks the whole land
And carries with it a shiver
As giant snowflakes fall
Over sea and over land
A white sheet envelops
A frozen tundra takes command
From surface to surface
It bleeds of pasty color
No one can escape it
Not even the most superior
The chilly wind gusts
Help not ease the freeze
Its anger isn’t like summer
Its wrath comes with frosty breeze
But what awaits at the end
After surviving an icy ordeal
A thawing of great proportions
That will make us cry and kneel
THE END
