The Winter It grows ever colder At this time of year. The frost starts to bite The air loses its cheer. The rain starts to pour The wind whistles harder. Like some sense of dread, The days, they get darker. Yes, there is Christmas Maybe even some snow But it’s cold out in winter The rain begins to flow. And, cold as ice, The new year comes, But winter will soon be over Then ther’ll be sun. Tom Clough year 9
