Sometimes, I use what my students write in this blog, always by permission. This poem was penned by Kaitlyn, a wonderful and talented young lady in one of my classes, who writes on her own. She has a way with words!
Winter.
The one season almost everyone hates.
The one season where it’s too cold to go outside.
The one season that has an agenda against humanity.
A lot of people say they don’t like Winter
But it’s my favorite season
It gives us a break from the heat
It gives us more time to sleep
It gives us a chance to wear our favorite jacket
It gives us the end of semester one
It gives us Christmas
It gives us the new year
I’ve always had a special connection with
Winter
Maybe it’s because of my brother
Maybe it’s because of my grandpa
Maybe it’s because of my friends
But
Regardless
It’s still my favorite season
No matter how bad the weather gets
No matter what other people say
I will still love winter
It’s the same way with you
I’ve always had a special connection with you
You have brought all
Of these wonderful things into my life
Your personality
Your name
Your laugh
No matter how much you’re judged
Or bullied
Or excluded
You will always have a home with me
In my heart
In the section that is devoted to you
No matter what happens
No matter how you feel
No matter what other people say
You will always be
My favorite person
Just as
Winter is my favorite season
Robin Williams is my favorite actor
Cody Fry is my favorite musician
Percy Jackson is my favorite book series
You are my favorite person And I don’t care who knows
