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.

Here is my writing!
                           Autumn - DRAFT

Water starts to freeze. As the cold wind blows the green
Leaves off branches. the wind howls as the rain falls and
Scatter along the ground.

Water starts to freeze. The cold wind blows the green
leaves off branches. Leaves change into reds and oranges. The wind howls as the rain falls and scatters along the wet soggy ground.The next day the lawn is a mess. Autumn is here.
