Part 1
Summer days turned to winter
wind chilling each who dared to venture
out into the cold days and night 
the ones that robbed us of our warm sun and 
days of fun.

The vegetables were dying
starving for the light that was once abundantly theirs
They’re hungry
calling out for help in the dead flower beds and
gardens covered in snow

The rot had taken over
consuming every plant within reach of the winter’s
cold
dead
fingers

While the vegetables withered away out in the cold
the people gathered indoors
they sat in front of fires
bundled up with blankets 
holding tightly so the cold wouldn’t touch them

One girl really didn’t mind the cold
she felt at home 
with the ice and wind
she went for walks
as the others cowered in their homes

The rot’s victims envied her,
her ability to walk in the snow
to leap in the air
never having to worry of what may happen 
if she stayed out a little too long

She walked past gardens and trees
asleep for the winter
some never to wake up again
some to come to the next warm day,
playing the waiting game


Some never slept
struggling with their last days of survival
before the cold reaches in and takes 
what’s left of the summer days now fades
and disintegrates to nearly nothing

Kale struggled to keep up with the cold
striving to keep warm
jealous of the warmth that the people felt
every time they went inside their homes
forgetting of the plants they tended to all summer

In the summer, the kale thrived
they soaked up the sun
dancing in the warm nights when no one’s out to see
they were loved by the people, if not only temporarily
using their powers for good

But then she had to go and make things terrible
forgetting them in her garden to rot in the winter
taking their brothers and sisters and searing them with the one thing they love
heat
she baked them in a slow and agonizing process
