WINTER

`

Winter blows its cold icy breath everywhere.

The early morning frost is crunchy and white covering the green grass.

The loud wind howls in the freezing air like a stray dog hungry for a bone.
Tiny snowflakes flutter down to land on the frozen ground,

covering everything with a white sparkling blanket.

The trees become bare, brown bones standing like statues admiring the view.

Heavy rain falls from the dark grey sky, pounding against the soggy ground.

Chilly bitterness in the air, winter is here.

Autumn  - DRAFT

Leaves swaying down from the big brown trees. Birds chirping from up above the soggy trees. Slip slop leaves dropping from the trees. The sun bearing down on everyone backs. Crash bang cold icey balls dropping from the big black cloud.
