I also had another literary conquest. In an effort to help my children practice writing I had them enter a local writing contest. I thought I should set a good example for the kids, so I wrote a poem as well. And, I won 1st place in the adult division--and I won money too.
Here is my poem.
Winter is coming!
Children cheer
Leaves tremble
Wind whirls
Winter is here!
Heaven opens
Snowflakes fall
Quietly
quietly
Winter’s still here!
Shovel snow
Heavy, wet
Dirty, slushy
Snow
Winter, perpetual winter!
Sip cocoa
Stir toffee
Play monopoly
Snuggle, cuddle
Spin yarns
Stifle yawns
Winter, ever winter
Toes tingle
Noses drip
Eyes water
Feet stomp
Teeth chatter
Winter raging winter
Snow drifts
Snow piles
Icicles growing
Icicles falling
Wind clawing
Wind howling
Winter wondrous winter
Frosted trees
Laced panes
Blanketed fields
Quail tracks
Colored lights
Starry nights
Manger scenes
