Frostbite

Author Introduction:
Abhishek Peri studies in grade 5 at Manthan School,Tellapur. He loves to write poetry and reading books.

I was running through the woods,
On a chilly winter night.
It’s chasing me, it’s chasing me!
The freezing cold frostbite.

It chased me past every pine,
Oak and evergreen,
It froze everything, whizzing past,
The fastest breeze I’ve ever seen.

It chased me through the snowy town,
Until I got inside.
Sitting by the fireplace,
It’s the warmest place to hide.

Here I am safe at home,
Snoring in my bed.
Meanwhile the frostbite is stuck outside,
Her cheeks slowly turning red.

The frostbite left, only to return next year,
But not yet was I ice.
I ran straight home and warmed up by the fire,
To me, it felt cozy and nice.
