Listen to poem:

One Winter

One Winter
David J Walker
It is a drifter
	Named winter 
Who never
	Keeps promises 

One winter 
I moved into an igloo
In the front yard
But only for an afternoon until
Mother called us in for hot cocoa 

I loved to sled 
I loved to stand at the window pain 
And watch freezing rain turn to snow
Making me think of sledding
And when I might go

One winter
	There was no winter
Only gray days that made you feel cold hateful
There was no snow   there was no winter
