Vermont Winter

Sneaking out all night with friends and watching the sunrise is now dark cold mornings before school

The nice walk home from school becomes a sloppy dreaded trek

Roaming around town with friends changes to sitting on our phones together inside

Sitting on top of the 60 foot train bridge with my headphone in is now hours of math work

As the road gets covered with salt my skateboard evolves into a snowboard

After 95 degree days my fingertips burn with the sensation of running them under hot water after hours in snow

The mosquito bites on my legs turn into bruises from crashing into people on sleds

Knocking on my neigbors doors to hang out with them turns into phone calls and long sleepovers

I speed to the top of mountain peaks on a chairlift instead of by foot

Fresh watermelon and pasta salad is now potatoes and beef stew

The sun glissens of the fresh powder instead making me wilt in the hot days of summer

Dreaming of the waterpark changes into dreams of magical New York City during Christmas time

    Hope!


    “Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul, / And sings the tune without the words, / And never stops at all.”

    Water would always run down the sides of my mouth after hastily drinking a cold cup of water, exhausted from all the running. We would always makes sure no nieghbors door was missed, in excitement they would join us for a game of kick the can.

    Thomas Reed doesnt think very highly of himself, in fact if you asked him about his personality, or his favorite things to do, his life is so bleak he couldn't even respond with a proper answer.
