~A Day When Winter Said Goodbye~
In the midst of morn she quietly rose
to greet the dawn of silent repose
She searched beyond the frozen hills
and through the bough's of crystal frills
She danced in dream as clouds rolled by
in hopes the sun would pierce the sky
As moments passed nil of light
the wind kicked up with all it's might
In tumbling turmoil the west winds raged
in fluttering beauty to turn the page
Within a breath a single sigh
the Winter wrath had waved goodbye
As sunlight burned of velvet white
upon her face a shaft of light...

What a fantastically vivid picture you've created with this poem. I was right there in that blinding moment when the sun hit the new snow.
ReplyDeleteHi Rick, I love the way this poem flows with perfect rhyme and meter. But even more I love the use of personification to show the change of seasons in such a creative way. You've always been a great writer, my friend. Best wishes, Carolyn Devonshire
ReplyDeleteWonderful and expressive poem, Rick. I love it. Thanks for the gripping details. Winter, with all its beauty and cold, has to eventually wave goodbye to another season. -MJ
ReplyDeleteRick I loved the poem and you accomplished your purpose, to take this reader to a meaningful, personal time in my life, I glory in the spring as new life bursts forth from winter hibernation.
