Winter Chill

A cold wind whispers
in Autumns ear, sending chills
As the trees shiver
All their  leaves decide to flee
As the first snow starts falling

I came back here to tell you, that puzzle contest is very easy. You just take that scrambled word and unscramble it and then write about street lights being sure not to use the puzzle word in your poem but using synonyms of it. Just google scrambled words and type it in and you will see which word she is talking about!!
