Sonnet: "I Hate Winter"

It’s snowing now for the thirtieth day

I’m walking to school, slipping on the ice

The cool, white snow has turned to dark and gray

I’m tripping on garbage, this isn’t nice

I’m getting sick of peppermint Starbucks

I’m wearing three pairs of socks and sweaters

Oh God, I hate this, winter really sucks

By now we should be done with this weather

Beaches and the sand, and water so blue

Nothing could be better than the summer

When the sun is hot and the sky is new

But I’m in New York; it’s such a bummer

I’m tired of always being so cold

It’s early March, and this is getting old
