Her hair whips violently against her cold cheeks
A fierce wind made fiercer by her speed
Her breath is a white cloud in front of her
Small puffs as she pants for air
Fingertips nearly frozen through her rainbowed gloves
Lips red and chapped as she slows her pace
She grins as she reaches the snowy white peak
Legs burning with tire, heart beating against her hollow chest
She takes in the view of her favourite spot
Usually coloured in vibrant splashes, now blanketed by snow
Yet it is beautiful; crystal and pristine
A chill causes her to tighten her scarf against her throat
She wipes off a snowy rock, sits and sighs
Drifts off into deep childhood thoughts;
Snowball fights, snowmen, snow angels
The laughter and happiness in a snow day
Warmth fills her as she pictures a mug of hot chocolate
Steaming as it waits for her to return inside,
Sit by the fire, melting the numbness in her toes,
Sipping away until her body is warm as her heart
Author notes
Word bank 1: breath, red, hollow, vibrant, rainbow(ed), grin(s), hair, chocolate, deep, throat
Not really sure where this one came from...or why I thought of winter when I saw that word bank -_- Sigh...summer really is over isn't it?

This is some of your best descriptive imagery ever...and you wove the words together so carefully and precisely....
"Warmth fills her as she pictures a mug of hot chocolate
Steaming as it waits for her to return inside,
Sit by the fire, melting the numbness in her toes,
Sipping away until her body is warm as her heart"
Such a warm ending...this turned out pretty good...
Keep writing...things just come to you and you come up with description like this...
