Snippets of the Seasons


The snow starts to fall

upon the ground and the trees.

Snowflakes coat the bench.


The crowd gathers close

trying to keep themselves warm

as the snow falls down.


The buildings stand tall.

Mountains tower over them

in the bright sunlight.


A shovel in hand,

digging into the rich soil

where the flowers grow.


A little bunny

sits on the flower-filled lawn

by the easter eggs.


Two little insects,

a bee and a butterfly,

perched on a flower.


Palm leaves are swaying

to the rhythm of the wind.

The blue sea is calm.


Hands raised to the sky,

as the roller coaster speeds 

across the blue tracks.


In the green garden,

the happy dog lifts his head

up to see bubbles.


The sun shines brightly

through the orange leaves in trees.

The white house stands tall.


The sun shines brightly

through the orange leaves in trees.

The white house stands tall.


In the dark forest,

jack-o-lanterns glow brightly

and light up the night.

Alexis has enjoyed traveling since she was eight years old, and she likes to bring back little trinkets from each place she visits. During her last journey, she went to Nigeria and experienced the exotic flavors of all the cultural dishes she ate. After that exhilarating trip, she began learning how to prepare those wonderful cuisines as a way to connect to her roots.
