Christmas with snow
Frigid.
Bitter
snowflakes
creeping,
Frigid,
presents
chocolate
laughter,
Frigid
Snow with Christmas

Crash
A car is flipping and screaming
anger

horrified
stabbing

scratched
bleeding
breathing
anger
Screaming and flipping in a car.

The Plastic Ocean
Waves of plastic wash ashore

bottles
straws
Hazard

dirty
damaging
tainting
destruction
Washes ashore, waves of plastic
