Logan Rose is a 13-year-old who is homeschooled in Michigan and loves creative writing. I was his instructor in a course titled Ancient Civilizations (Literature), at Coram Deo Academics, a homeschooling co-op, over the past two semesters. Logan is the first place winner of our class poetry contest this year for his poem titled “How Long the Winter Lasts.” Congratulations to Logan!
How long the winter lasts How soon the springtime fades How we love the springtime And playing in the glades After spring comes summer And the weather is cleared How we love this season That banished all we feared Let us not forget fall The period of change When the green leaves turn red But also a whole range How long the winter lasts How soon the springtime fades How we love the springtime And playing in the glades Copyright © by Logan Rose All rights reserved, 18 June 2020
