The Last Frontier - by Adelaide

THE LAST FRONTIER

four seasons and the night

Spring chases winter away

   All the animals, “thank you”, they say
Everything starts to dry

  The birds return to lay their eggs and fly

In the summer the sun is warm

   The mosquitoes fly about in a swarm

The water & grass are deep and green

   The woods are beautiful and serene

In the fall the leaves turn orange and red

   All the animals get ready for bed

The flowers send their seeds to hide

   Safe from winter in a hillside

In winter it rains and such

   It really does not snow much

The water is crystal clear

   The cold hits you in gusts sharp with fear

When the moon shines bright

   It makes the sky pale gray in the night

Then suddenly appears a glow of green and white

   Brighter and brighter it becomes, it is known as the northern lights

I know this because I sleep on the deck of a boat

   With the moon,stars,and northern lights draped over me like a cloak

There are animals such as bears and deer

   This beautiful country covered in green and blue is known as the Last Frontier
