[stylist] Writing prompt (brown winter).

[Donna Hill]

Shawn,
I particularly like the line, "Does winter want to claim the land or not?"
It's like "get it over with, for Heaven's sake!"
 Over all, it strikes me as the "polar" opposite of the CS Lewis line from
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe -- "always snowing and never
Christmas." Good job.

OK. I'll try it.  I think you should be able to guess the song that the
first line comes from.

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray but I see no snowy white.
This cold ground chills but does not warm with snow's Christmas invoking
sight.
This snowless winter I wish would be gone.
It seems November caries on and on.
Does winter want to claim the land or not?
These snowy days of yore I've almost forgot.
This dithering weather leaves me with a frown.
Be snowy or be gone oh' winter brown.
