Poem a day challenge...Day 20!

























Day 20 Prompt: Rebirth


Winter wraps colorless
hands around days
turning them dull and gray

wind rain and snow beat
against frigid nights
as nature shivers

the elements play out
against one another in
tiresome repetition

while thoughts of sun filled
days flutter impatiently
waiting


winter reluctantly draws
back its shroud as spring
unrolls its velvet cloak
reviving and renewing
all in its wake

~~



Love,

  2. Such mature and full thoughts, you create such vivid imagery with such a few words, dear!
    My favorite passage was the elements play out against one another in tiresome repetition. Excellent. E
