Answer:
Snowflakes fall from the sky so white,
Blanketing the earth with pure delight.
The world transforms into a winter wonderland,
A sight so beautiful, it's hard to understand.
Each flake unique, like a fingerprint,
Glistening in the sun, a sight distinct.
The sound of crunching underfoot,
As we walk through the snow, a feeling so good.
The air is crisp, with a scent so fresh,
A reminder that nature is at its best.
The chill on our skin, a tingle so cold,
A sensation that never gets old.
A taste of snow, so pure and clean,
Melting on our tongues, a flavor serene.
Personified as a blanket of peace,
Snow brings a calmness that never will cease.
In this winter wonderland, we find,
A beauty that's truly one of a kind.
A metaphor for new beginnings,
As snow melts away, a hope that's winning.
Rhyme scheme: A A B B A
Example of figurative language: Snowflakes fall from the sky like fingerprints.

How does Rod Sterling establish the genre of Science Fiction beyond a play?
Just the name itself will make you giggle. It's a great word that conjures visions of slime and unpleasantness. It is perhaps the most annoying part of having a cold or allergies. Mucus, however, plays a very important role in defense of our bodies and our health. In fact, it's high time mucus got a lot more respect.
First, there are some amazing facts about mucus that are worthy of respect. Humans produce about a liter of mucus every day, whether they are sick or not. Bony fish and some invertebrates (snails or slugs) also have mucus cells on the outside of their body. This external mucus creates a protective coating that prevents predators' toxins from doing harm. Humans produce mucus to protect our stomachs, our lungs, and several other systems.
We tend to not like mucus because it is a considered a symptom or sign that something is wrong. We usually only see it when we are sick, and so we tend to dislike it. According to Michael M. Johns, III, MD, however, "mucus is incredibly important for our bodies." Johns, an assistant professor at Emory University, calls mucus "the oil in the engine" of our bodies. Without mucus, our engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop working properly.
Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick. It lines the tissues in your mouth, your nose, throat, and lungs. It also is crucial in protecting your digestive system. Mucus puts a protective coating over the surfaces of these tissues, keeping them moist. Most of the time we don't notice mucus is making our lives better. It does its job quietly, making everything run smoothly, keeping our inner tissues soft and flexible enough to fight off invaders.
Occasionally, though our mucus-making membranes go into overdrive. If you eat a hot pepper, your mucus membranes in your mouth and throat start producing extra mucus to protect you. If you come into contact with pollen, you may get a runny nose and start sneezing and coughing. When these things happen, your mucus systems start making more fluids to wash away the irritating particles. Mucus also has some antibodies that increase our ability to fight off bacteria and viruses.
It's hard to appreciate what is essentially slime, but we have mucus for some very good reasons. It helps to keep us healthy and lets us know when our bodies are under attack. We would be wise to respect what our bodies do to keep us safe. So the next time you find yourself reaching for a tissue, remember mucus is your friend and ally.
What's in a Name?
Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.

Explanation:
Who Were the Spiders?
The Cooper family was about to move because Dad had a new job in Colorado. He had been out of work for a year, and Natalie and Mason knew he had been unhappy, but now a new job was making things look better. As Dad said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”
Dad was already in Colorado, but Mom stayed behind so that the twins Natalie and Mason could finish fifth grade at Oak School. Today, Natalie and Mason were helping to pack boxes, and they enjoyed looking at the old treasures, especially the photo albums.
Natalie picked up a photo of a baseball team. The men’s uniforms had CLEVELAND printed on them. Someone had written 1895 on the photo.
Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”
“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”
That night, Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”
Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”
Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer. So, Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.
Mason and Natalie headed for the computer and found a baseball encyclopedia. They discovered three early Cleveland teams: Cleveland Blue, 1879–1884; Cleveland Infants, 1890–1890; and Cleveland Spiders, 1887–1899.
Mason shouted, “We found the answer! Our 1895 photo must show the Cleveland Spiders.”
They looked for Cleveland Spiders and found an article. A new Cleveland ballpark had opened on May 2, 1891. Cy Young was the starting pitcher, and Zimmer was listed as one of the players. “That’s the cousin of our great-great-grandfather!” said Natalie.
Mason wanted to know more, so they searched a baseball almanac. In 1895, the team came in second. But in 1899, the Spiders were baseball’s worst team. Zimmer was a player on both teams. “Oh, well, you can’t win them all,” Natalie said.
“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise,” Mom suddenly called from downstairs. It was time for bed! They would have to find out more about the Cleveland Spiders tomorrow.
