A Boy's Letter to Winter

Author:
A short, playful rhyming tale about a mild winter, written for preschool and early elementary children. A boy imagines that winter has fallen ill, which is why there are no frosts or snow outside, only puddles.

Winter, you've forgotten all about us,
You loved playing snowballs with the kids so much!
And the sleds that zoom down the hill like arrows ―
Have you really forgotten all of that?

At New Year you burst into tears,
Now there are only puddles, what comes next?
Maybe we should visit the snow doctor, you and me,
Just say the word, and I'll cover the bill!

I saved my pocket money in my piggy bank for a long time,
But this icy crust has really worn out my patience!
You know, they won't let me go outside to play again,
I sit around bored, drooping like a wilted houseplant.

Outside it's wet snow, then rain, then ice,
Just nasty weather and endless slippery slush.
I've been stuck alone all winter break,
And a runny nose too, what a nuisance!

The doctor said yesterday that it will pass,
Just a couple more days and the sickness will be gone.
Winter, that got me thinking,
How sometimes we're right to take our cough syrup.

And you, it seems, have fallen ill too,
Sulking again, and that's not right!
Maybe you're scared of the shots,
And that's why you stayed home?

Want me to go to the doctor with you?
I'm a really brave boy, and I'm not joking!
Because you've completely forgotten
That you loved playing snowballs,

That you loved the snowstorms,
Not the spring drips at all.
So come on, winter, come back soon,
Don't be sad, enjoy the story!

Well, that's it, I'm putting a period right here
And I eagerly await your reply, just one line:
“Hurrying back, and I'm not sick anymore!”
I believe you'll be feeling better soon.
