Oh winter, where art thou?
Frisbee sessions on the grass,
Waiting for the snow.

Ah, a frosty Main “Green”,
Walking through the fluffy roads,
Sights not seen back home.

Now I thank, my wise
decision of buying boots
Over Christmas break.

“Your favorite!” it
says, from my loved ones back home
On Valentine’s Day.

For some it is a
Beginning of a new month,
For some a new year.

I look up to a
sign of spring on a branch, what
cheerful shade of pink.

Spring is in the air,
Bringing back memories of
Those plum trees miles away.

Melted snow, slushy
paths, making way for skateboards
to rush off to class.
