Definition: Traditionally the fourth of the four seasons, typically regarded as being from December 23 to March 20 in continental regions of the Northern Hemisphere or the months of June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the time when the sun is lowest in the sky, resulting in short days, and the time of year with the lowest atmospheric temperatures for the region.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s dive into a thought!
Today we're tackling “Winter,” a season bright and bold,
A chilly tale that’s often told.
Now, the dictionary gives us clues so neat,
Let’s break it down, can’t be beat!
It says winter’s the fourth, you see,
Of four seasons, happy and free!
(Think of Spring, then Summer's glee,
And Autumn leaves for all to decree!)
In the North, from December twenty-third,
To March twentieth, a frosty word.
But down in the South, it’s a different pace,
June, July, and August – a warmer embrace!
It’s when the sun dips low and shy,
And days grow shorter, passing by.
The temperatures plummet, cold and deep,
While nature slumbers, quiet sleep.
So winter's about shadows long and slow,
And feeling the chill as snowflakes flow.
