Hayden's poem

SNOW STORM

Standing

at the windowsill

of a

frost covered

window,

a cat

watches piles of snow

and snowflakes

fall

delicately

After the heavy

snowfall,

he stepped outside

into

the snow.

The cats black fur

stark against

the colourless snow.

Not able

to blend into his

arctic surroundings

all prey knows

to flee

As it

gets darker

the snow

falls heavier

the cat finds

it’s way

home

with his head

hung low

after

a hopeless day

of hunting.

On it’s way

back a snowstorm hits,

the cat

struggles through until he reaches

his home

once he had made it back

to his warm house

he sat at the windowsill

once again watching the snow storm
