Poem - Summer and Winter

In summer I get dressed for school and make sure my arms see the sunlight.

The street awake and chattering.

Trees motionless and attractive.

Birds are flying and whistling.

Clouds high in the sky and far, far away from humanity.

Carefree people laugh and smile.

The bell goes but no one hurries to class.

In winter I get dressed for school and make sure my arms are hidden from the darkness.

The street asleep and silent.

Trees moving and unsightly.

Birds are hiding in their nests.

Heavy clouds are low in the sky, nearly touching the earth.

Downcast people moan and whine

The bell goes and everyone hurries to class.
