Cold

It’s cold,

It’s really foggy,

It’s so cold that,

A blanket of snow covers the mountains,

Frostbitten playground equipment the is too slippery to play on,

Walk on the grass and you see tints of ice stuck in between the blades.

It’s wet,

It’s so cold that,

If you try to lick the ice, your tongue gets numb and it stings,

The trees are bare with no leaves,

Cockroaches are happy because the wood is damp.

It’s chilly,

Families gather be the fire to keep warm,

The roast wants to stay in the oven,

The clothes want to stay in the dryer.

Will winter ever end?
