Christmas is Near, Winter is Here
The happiness I feel today
How happy I am I cannot say
For now I know that Christmas is near
When the Christmas songs begin to play
So now I know that winter is here
Although my mother must think it queer
She has not yet seen Santa's sleigh
She has not yet seen Santa's reindeer

My mom and I were both happy because they were Christmas songs that were playing. My mom said something about it being too early for Christmas music because it wasn’t even Thanksgiving yet, but I wasn’t listening. That day, I felt like writing a poem about it, but I didn't have any inspiration, so I looked at my old "Poem of the Day" assignment from school and found a poem called "Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. I wrote my poem sort of in that form, had the same rhyming pattern, and some similar lines.
