The Season of Trees

Jim Willcox

The trees in the spring are all brand new

They grow magnificent color that we never have seen

 

The trees in the summer are all now bloomed

They sit there still til something happens new

 

The trees in the fall have changed their colors,

Until the colors fades and falls

The ground becomes snow where all the children can play

The trees are happy in a way

 

The trees in the winter are all sad and bare

They have no leaves or children that play

They sit there still till the next year comes

                                                                    Standing there all alone

 

Playing in the Snow

Jim Willcox

 

One day the clouds became dark

Began to snow like it would never stop

The snow was as soft as a bunch of clouds

So I got in my gear and went outside

I started to make a beautiful man

This man was made of snow

But was broken by an evil man

I made a fort like a

Metal tank

Impregnable, I would say

The evil man was making a plan

So I snuck up like a hunter at work

And attacked suddenly

And won the game

My brother never tried again
