2025 Winter Short Story

“SNOW ANGELS”
EMILIE K. 7th Grade
Clear mountain lakes,
Now frozen over,
Smooth with ice,
No green or clovers.
The once sandy shore,
Filled with rocks and stones,
Now covered with snow,
It's too cold to walk alone.
But by the old woods,
Are small children in hoods,
Who lay down every morning,
And dance in the snow.
Who lay down every morning,
And dance in the snow.
The shapes look like that of an angel,
Smooth in the crystalline snow,
Shimmering like shattered glass,
It would be a pain to see them go.
They bring out hot chocolate,
With marshmallows a plenty,
They laugh and they cheer,
They were happy.
The children lay down,
And dance with effortless flow,
The shapes of angels,
In the crystalline snow.
The snow will soon melt,
And the ground will turn hazel,
But next year again,
It will be laden with angels.
