letter to President Bush

Alexandra Indira Sanyal

Alexandra was in the second grade in Cambridge, Massachusetts when she wrote this poem on February 7, 2003. It was a day when she was home sick from school and saw 13 unexpected inches of snow falling in less than 8 hours outside the window at her home in Boston, Massachusetts.  Her class had written letters to President Bush a few days before composing this poem.

Snow so fluffy and soft.
I like to run and jump into it.
It leads to peace and love.  
Snow stops war
and fights
that lead to killing.
So snow, come today.
