AMY: in spring 95 (then seven years old) (An essay in response to a school writing assignment to write a paragraph on each of the seasons.) ************************************************ WINTER Every time it snows in winter, that is just how winter celebrates its birthdays. Icicles are the candles and the snow is its icing. The ground is the cake. ************************************************ SPRING Spring is when winter dies and summer is just a baby. Flowers are children who come with pretty outfits to have a funeral for winter and to celebrate the new baby spring. ************************************************ SUMMER When summer is so hot that just means it is summer's birthday. The heat is summer's best friend and they are celebrating together. ************************************************ FALL Fall is when summer dies and winter is just a baby. Every fall the leaves get on pretty gowns and float down to see the baby winter. ************************************************
