Snow in Seattle
By Nihal Singh Sathi
Snow falls like powder on crispy dounut
The terrain is like soft white blanket
It falls on Seattle, a city of no tension
The capital of State of Washington
We have winter, snow, summer and rain
Seattle is not very sunny, it is not Spain
Cold wind is blowing with all its might
The whole city is shiny and bright
Under my feet I can hear snow crashing
It is musical, sensational and smashing
The grass is covered with snow flakes
The rivers are covered and so are lakes
Roads are not busy, the traffic is slow
That is the power of mighty snow
Men in yellow trucks scattering grit,
They got to make more than one trip
My name is Nihal and I am about eleven
My sister is five and brother is seven
My sister laughs and shows her teeth
They are so white only snow can beat
We laugh and play with snow balls
We throw at each other, on cars and walls
It is amazingly very fresh weather
I so wish it stays like this forever
I can smell it, touch it and caress
I am so happy I cannot assess
It is lovely, serene and peaceful
Everything is just so beautiful
What a pity I still got to go to school,
My mom says education is quite cool
To succeed in life, you got to be bright
Everything must be positive and right
It is important that I am successful
Then I will have wealth in bountiful
My daddy says one must work if able
Work provides house, food on table
My DADI is teacher, DADA a poet of position
They bless me, they are my inspiration.
I will serve my country and community
I will be truthful, my mind full of purity
Like pure white snow falling from sky
My thoughts will be good, vision sky high
I will be faithful, honest and good citizen
I was born British but now an American
May in the world be peace and prosperity
That is what I always ask of God Almighty
