Poetry Is Power: Shining evergreens

By Bree Sarandrea

 

Crystals sparkle,

As the sun hits,

Just right,

The evergreens shine,

As if glitter had just been,

Sprinkled all over them.

Even the pine cones shimmer,

The trees sparkle so bright,

They almost look like they’re glowing,

The branches have piles of snow,

Resting on them,

Making them twinkle so bright.

This is Mother Nature’s way to decorate,

Glittering like stars,

The earth is covered in glistening white crystals,

Crystals,

Of snow,

The mountains are white and green,

Shimmering,

Shining,

Beautiful.

The earth is,

Amazing.

Let’s keep it that way.
