Winter at the Ocean

By Elizabeth Lyman
Mater Christi School, Grade 3

When it comes to winter at the ocean
the days are dark
and gloomy
and the wind howls
calling for the winter holiday to start.
In the night the waves
CRASH!
like lightening cracking the sky open
and clouds blowing through the sky.
It's like the clouds are touching the ground.
