I Hate Winter

I've thought about why

I seem to hate

Winter

As much as

I hate

Winter

It's not just because

It's freezing

All the time

Too cold

To stay

Outside

I hate

The puddles

Of slush

Soaking wet socks

That freeze

On your way home

I hate

The terrible tingle

All over

As your body

Warms

Dethaws

I hate

Having my nose

Constantly

Run

I hate

Slipping

On hidden

Ice

I hate

Icicles

That drip on

My head

I hate

Waiting

For buses

Whose drivers know

The colder it is

The longer

They make us wait

I hate

Chunks of salt

getting into our boots

Ruining our laces

And pant leg cuffs
