A Winter's Tale
It's winterfall
Read skies are gleaming
Seagulls are flying over
Swans are floating by
Smoking chimney tops
Am I dreaming?
Am I dreaming?
Read skies are gleaming
Seagulls are flying over
Swans are floating by
Smoking chimney tops
Am I dreaming?
Am I dreaming?
The nights
draw in
There's a silky moon up in the sky
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standing by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming?
Am I dreaming?
There's a silky moon up in the sky
Children are fantasising
Grown-ups are standing by
What a super feeling
Am I dreaming?
Am I dreaming?
So quiet and
peaceful
Tranquil and blissful
There's a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand
Tranquil and blissful
There's a kind of magic in the air
What a truly magnificent view
A breathtaking scene
With the dreams of the world
In the palm of your hand
A cosy
fireside chat
A little this, a little that
Sound of merry laughter skipping by
Gentle rain beating on my face
What an extraordinary place!
A little this, a little that
Sound of merry laughter skipping by
Gentle rain beating on my face
What an extraordinary place!
It's all so
beautiful
Like a landscape painting in the sky
Mountains are zooming higher
Little dogs scream and cry
My world is spinning and spinning and spinning
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming?
Am I dreaming?
Like a landscape painting in the sky
Mountains are zooming higher
Little dogs scream and cry
My world is spinning and spinning and spinning
It's unbelievable
Sends me reeling
Am I dreaming?
Am I dreaming?
Oooh, it's
bliss

What Winter means to me:
ReplyDeleteSnow is falling here and there.
You can see it everywhere.
Roasting marshmallows by the fire.
Santa will give you what you desire.
Winter, winter we love winter.
Snowflakes falling from the sky.
Benches covered in snow that's icy.
Going ice-skating's so much fun.
Huge mountains covered in snow.
Winter, winter we love winter.
Snowflake, snowflake we love snowflakes too.
Falling , falling, falling, falling, falling.
Falling on my nose.
Drinking hot chocolate at the fire place.
In my warm, cosy, soft and nice chair.
Relaxing and sharing is so much fun.
Winter, winter we love winter.
I can hear little birds chirping and robins flying around me .
Can you hear them to?
I can smell roast dinners from peoples windows.
I can also feel snow falling from the sky.
I will taste some food in a minute.
I'm so excited.
What does winter mean to you?
A fantastic description of what winter means to you. Good use of the senses to describe.

Hurray!
You have painted a lovely picture of winter. Good use of rhyme and repetition.
DeleteThat's a lovely poem Fareeha!I wonder What you're up to in the holidays?
DeleteThe Snowman
ReplyDeleteOne must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
you did great misbah
DeleteGreat! That is amazing Misbah
Deletemisbah this is lovely

ReplyDeletedark sky's
it's cold outside
snow flaces are falling
stars are glowing
the smell of mince pie
santas raindairs fly
lots of trees
and a cool breeze
covred in snow
the cold winds blow
it's so beautiful
and colorful
it's so beautiful
and colorful
I love winter
and my tree shines like gliter.
The chilly winter
ReplyDeleteA chilly winter is often really cold,
I could be playing outside with my jacket,
Or i could roast marshmallows.
Lots of trees without leaves,
And children screaming outside,
I always stay inside to be warm.
Oh winter it is a great season,
But there are other seasons waiting to come,
So i hope winter will come again next time.
A Beautiful Dream:
ReplyDeleteIn winter it’s cold, snowy and white,
It makes you feel happy.
You sometimes feel cosy when you eat
The warmth.
When you touch the snow,
You see snowflakes falling down.
Mostly you could hear the children having
Fun
I smell mince pies and Christmas objects
Like a beautiful dream.
I feel it in my bones
And it’s a nice feeling.
You have snowball fights
But you do it all in December
On Christmas Eve!
I love how you described how it feels like when you touch the snow.Can you describe how it feels when you have snowball fights?
DeleteWinter is coming
ReplyDeleteIce is booming
Mice are cold
And cheese is mold
Pine-trees are icy white
Sun is bright gleaming sight
Ice on the road glitters
Makes a funny sliding ride
Lots of snow falling down
Have some coco hot and brown
Comfy cosy chair by the fire place
As cosy as a sheep's fleece
Day's short and night is long
But sadly we don't play ping pong
Winter winter here you come
With frost and snow lots of fun
Fire's burning in the pit
Going out bit by bit
Night is peaceful with dreaming moonlight
Day is beautiful with grey shady light
Winter is fun with Christmas around
Ho Ho Ho Santa is coming with jingly sound
Old Winter Lady
ReplyDeleteChilling fresh air fills up my chest with wonder
We feel Old Winter Lady's presence
It s everywhere...you see?
It s winter on the streets...
It even smells like winter...
All nature sleeps under the pale grey sky.
For now the trees have left their coat,
Have changed it for a special one ,
Of diamond glow.
Red collared robins gathered on a brunch,
House windows brightly lit and misted are shining in the dark.
Playful flakes of white are falling from the sky,
Crystal snow is squeaking under feet,
It s winter time.
Tick Tack ,Tick Tack it s Christmas time!
The night is not night ..no more
The velvety moon arises,
It shines ...it glows ...it s magical..
The uncalled Winter Lady has arrived,
With charming dance of joy .
Merry songs and cheerful colors red and green ,
Christmas tree and family ,makes my joy begin.
All is new, all is wonder,
All is magic, all is bliss,
All is silent, all is white,
Old winter Lady is here!
Snowman, play and games on ice ,
All children must enjoy!
Makes my heart pound and jump with joy.
I visit grandparents house each year,
Smell of oranges and Christmas tree,
Sizzling steak and sausages all on table just for me.
All it 's dream all it s a wish
Sun is shining all the time,
Even Santa Clause arrives ,
Sharing long hoped gifts to each and every one.
One last thing ,Old Winter Lady!
New Year's knocking at the door
Health and many other wishes,
Please bring loads to us all!
Winter is finally here.
ReplyDeleteIts winter,
Its winter,
bright snow is falling to the ground.
Hot bread getting baked.
Steam gently flouting in the air
from people making a hot meal.
Is this real?
Is this real?
The days are getting shorter and shorter,
Children are making snow mans and snow angels.
Millions of presents under one big Christmas tree in the middle of the city
Mostly every thing is covered in snow.
I know my mum and dad are making a big meal for all the guests.
I am getting ready for going to the shop
to buy gifts.
Is this real?
Is this real?
Soon Santa will come and people will have even more.
Winter winter
ReplyDeleteI love winter, watching little snowflakes gently drift to the ground, covering the earth like a soft air light white blanket.
Winter winter
I do love winter Christmas is on its way with presents, parties and all those tasty mice pies.
Winter oh winter
so foggy and cold, songs of jack frost nipping at our nose. Children dressed warm all snuggled up in soft blankets, Feeling the warmth of the roaring fire.
The sudden sweet smell of spiced hot chocolate, I can taste the all the sweet spices dancing around the inside of my mouth. mmmm winter oh winter.
WINTER HAS COME
ReplyDeleteWinter has come
Snow is falling
Trees are going down
Winter has come
The children are singing
Making lots of sound
Winter has come
People are skating
Laughing all around
Winter has come
Santa is coming
With presents like being proud
Winter has come
We sit by the fire
Cosy and warm
WINTER HAS COME
WINTER
JUST WINTER.......
It's winter! It's winter!
ReplyDeleteI fell happy, I feel peaceful
Where you can see the whole world,
covered by a shiny glamourous white dress.
The icy grass in the field creaking under my feet.
The frosty, snowy mountains seems higher and bigger.
What a season! What a season!
It's winter! It's winter
where you can hear
the sound of burning wood inside the chimneys.
You can hear the sound of the wind
blowing heavily outside!
branches creaking in the wind .
What a season! What a season!
It's winter! It's winter!
Winter makes Christmas so special
Christmas trees glowing in every house
with it's colourful, cheerful lights.
Roasted chestnuts smell is all around,
as well as mash mellow and hot chocolate,
and don't forget the Christmas eve,
where roasted turkey and minced pie smell
can't be hidden!
I love winter!
I love that cold breeze that you can feel whenever you move.
I like the icy touch everywhere outside.
It's winter!
My favourite season!
by habib
I love it! It's very happy!
DeleteI like how you used Question marks

ReplyDeleteThe street cars are like frosted cakes.
All covered up, with cold snowflakes.
Snow is falling here and there,
You can see it everywhere.
Thos e winter nights,
Such shimmering sights!
Cheerful carols, joyous jingle bells,
Gleeful gazelles, feels just like magical spells!
Santa’s reindeer fly up high,
By the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Oh, winter is such a great season,
With many of a reason.
A dark and misty Winter
ReplyDeleteA dark and misty Winter,
The food thats much much better,
The warm and relaxing homes,
The snowmen in the giant gloom.
What could be better?
What could be better?
A dark and misty Winter,
The snowballs that are much much softer,
The songs you can sing along,
as the bells go ding and dong.
What could be better?
What could be better?
A dark and misty Winter,
The ice that sparkles like glitter,
The trees that sparkle and glimmer.
What could be better?
What could be better?
i can really imagine it Anish great poeam
DeleteA Winter's day
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes falling on the trees
Snow near our gleaming house
Feeling the snow flakes on a mouse
Christmas dinner is waiting for you
White snow everywhere in the city
Santa's sleigh coming through the air
Every house is snowy snow white
Christmas trees coming to your house
Hearing presents being opened by people
Hills filled with snow and snow flakes
In the holidays I am:
ReplyDeletegoing to watch a movie,
going to friends homes,
visiting Aunty,Uncle and my cousins,
going shopping,
inviting friends and family over and playing on the electronics!
