Lunar New Year Poem

When Winter refuses to tidy up

Leaving her white blanket

Sprawling as far as the eye can see

Mother Nature must pull her ears

Give her a proper scolding and

Let her know that playtime’s over

Take your snowflakes and your ice

And all your other frigid friends

And be off to sleep

Be kind now and let your sister, Spring

Have her fun too

She’s been waiting patiently for months

Spring makes her way to the ground

Riding on a fiery, red dragon

Leaving a trail of lanterns and crackers

The flowers join her party

They gather in a parade

And dance for months on end
