Winter's Last Hold



The telephone wire runs,
Black and vain,
Before the gray winter mountains,
Like an X across the Mona Lisa.

Miranda Selinger, age 11


Snow

The refreshing feeling of waking up
to fields full of snow
trickles through the body of a young girl.
Purity is in the air.


Snow Star

I watched the snow
Touching the earth
As though it was
A child. It looked as
Though the sky
Was felled. Everyone
Was cloaked with
Snow. I watched it happen
So, from afar, as
Though I were a
Star.

Kellen Hopwood, age 12
