17 July 2012
The wind blew cold around me, Making me shiver and shake, I curled up beneath the large, oak tree, And stared at a falling snowflake.
My eyes watered because of the chilling breeze, There was no ray of light, I rested my head upon my knobbly knees, And watched the silent night.
I sat, frozen, amongst the eerie wood, Swaying back and forth, I lay down in the oozy mud, Trying to find a place of warmth.
I heard a distant howling, It made me gasp and cry, An animal probably prowling, Who knows why...?
I ran back through the blanket of snow, Settling on the floor, I wasn't sure which way I should go, Now, I wanted to get home even more.
