Cat

Lounging lazily

Sleeping on a bed of warmth

Like a furry king

Creeping, prowling through

the night. Slinking, stalking prey,

crouching quietly

An arrogant king

Sleeping on a throne of warmth

While ruling the house

An Egyptian god

A household king

Superior to others

- Ben B

Frozen

I hear the frost crunching under my shoes,
leaving my footprints behind me,
just missing the ice-cold water
that might numb my feet

Arriving at school,
the crisp, bitter concrete slips beneath my feet.
I run inside before I freeze,
I grab a drink but the tap is defrosting.
When it comes, the water is fresh.

Before my eyes
the world defrosts
like a gigantic ice cream.
It's not so bitter any more.

- Neo M

Winter

Winter is that time of year

when the sparkly ice takes over puddles.

Winter is the fresh start to the days,

when the glistening frost covers the grass.

Winter has the specialty of freshness, coldness

and bitter mornings.

Winter has the numbing touch 

that freezes my hands.

- Charlie C

Frost

 







White, crunchy grass.
Crispy, bitter air.
Icy roads that are slippery -
A frost is here.

- Jordan T

A Skyful of Grey

A skyful of grey,

While snowflakes glisten

Drifting, dancing till they fall.

As they settle on the ground

They melt and disappear

And all the fun has gone.

I stand upon the crunchy ice

That enveloped the field;

The trees above are naked and cold,

Encrusted all over with ice.

My nose is red

And my fingers deep blue.

No circulation of blood at all.

Embracing, the crispy, fresh air 

Is shaking my body to the bone.

The Webs of Cold

Shiny

crispy glass

grass

Webs of 

silver and

bracing ice-wind

The silentness

of the world

and the freezing cold.

And all the spiders,

frozen in time,

make me wonder why, oh why,

do they build 

webs of cold?

- Jazz R
