Analysis of Winter Snow

Haley McColley 1989 (Freeport)



As the wind will blow
It continues to snow
Going out
Kids will shout
Snowball fight
What a sight
Snowballs left and right
Getting thrown into the night
Ice skating on the pond nearby
Kids skating by and by
Winter coats, stocking caps, and Scarves
We need hot cocoa to warm ourselves
I hear the church bells
All the dinner smells
