Poem I Wrote when I was 9 Winter Snow

One snowy winter night when I was nine years old, I had to go down into the pasture alone to feed our animals. Everything outside that night seemed gray, eerie and lonely. When I was done with my chores, and back in the warm house, I wrote this poem.

 Winter Snow 

The North Wind is blowing its solemn sound

The winter snow is white on the ground

What could there be in this lonely place?

There is no sign of the human race

The cold air stings my frozen face

And the North Wind blows its solemn sound

Blowing the winter snow white on the ground

Great imagery and a nice rhyme scheme.
When you were nine didn't your parents tell you not to use 4-letter words, like snow!?

I know you are attempting to reach 3000, and I know you can do it. Just pick a few connections every day, and go through all of their photos and or articles, leaving a generic comment on each. I wish you all the best of luck in reaching your Gather goals.

Sherine, as a Christmas present to you, I will be leaving a Christmas greeting on all of your photos and articles. I hope this will help you reach 3000 and make the cash option.

I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season with lots of love, happiness and family time.
