**Words: Ice Cream, Soap, Winter, Boat**

## **1st position: Chiron66 (Caleb) with 6 upvotes**

I glide across the sea on a boat

Coated with ice

I ride through the storm

Welcome to winter

You won't find warm cinders

Resting in the fire place no more

'Cause we're sailing the sea

Feel that breeze

Now's not the time for ice cream

But if you want

Go ahead and freeze

Got some soap?

Clean that shield

We ride into battle

Don't you dare wear heels

We're stuck in ice

Might as well go home

Well, goodbye

Say shalom

We're sailing home

**Winter Dare**

Winter has arrived

It's cold outside

Should we follow the

Weird custom of our family

Or should we stay inside

To keep ourselves warm

The custom is funny

It's kind of a dare

But you got to play fair

You have to eat

A giant ice cream

While the snow falls

And you shiver

In the cold

You have to go boating

In the big family boat

With just a silk dress

To keep you warm

You have to cover

Your face with soap

Then take a dip

In the frozen lake

To clean it off

Yes it's a weird custom

You tend to catch a cold

But you have your

Family support to keep warm

During this winter dare

I told you it's funny

It's definitely a dare

And you have to play fair

For you have your family

Ready to help you

If you get scared

During this winter dare.

It was December, that meant deep and hard winter. This time of the year is very cold and tough tho the beauty of the snow fall and the ice... nothing can beat that♡. It was one of my favorite times a year when it gets close to Christmas, all of our relatives gather together to eat and have fun. But, I rather be fishing with my grandfather and eating strawberry ice cream with him! I can't wait till summer because he promised me to show how to build the base of a boat! But I wanna enjoy every second now before new year because, you should be enjoying every day of your life not wasting it on stressing and other stuff!!!

It was cold outside today. Well, what was I to expect? It was winter, after all. I snuggled deeper into my coat. I was waiting for the bus to arrive. It was always late. I sighed. I just wanted to be inside, with a warm cup of apple cider in front of the fire, with a book in hand. At last, the bus arrived. I sat down, wishing for it to be summer again. In summer I could play outside all day. In summer I could eat ice cream, and play on the swings. To talk with my friends, and go on a boat, and feel the wind rustle my hair. But in this winter wonderland, there was no fun to be found. But I suppose it’s not all bad. When you take a bath in winter, you want it to be nice and warm, with lots of soap, because where there’s soap, there’s bubbles! I smiled. There was good in winter. I looked out the window. It was still snowing, but I reminded myself that every snowflake was different, every single one beautiful and unique. When I got off the bus, the snow fell into my hair, but it was beautiful, like shining stars in the night sky.
