Winter taunts us with Autumn's colour
Romantic as we hold each other
As dead leaves fall softly to land
Then eerie mists appear at dawn
Soon blown away by the cruel north wind
And beaches now seen with empty strand
Draft excluder now placed foot of door
Trees stripped quite clean with nothing to say
Gaping at view of barren farmland
Humans appearance changes now too
They're less relaxed as if much to do
Planning Christmas needs every hand
Even the dog curls up in a ball
On summer days he lays out in a sprawl
Now dreams and moans of seashore's sand
Children's eyes shine with first fall of snow
Soon they're downcast with bitter cold
Slipping and sliding is not so grand
Now look! Spring flowers burst from the soil
Gloves not worn now, Sun shines at dawn
Birds chatter and sing like a brass band
Smiles are on faces walking around
Winter forgotten for one more year
Now couples dancing a saraband

And here we have the entire spectrum of winter--when it falls on us and when we tire of it. Thankfully spring comes again. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe old planet spins and spins. It astounds me how Mother Nature moves faithfully through her cycles, despite all we have done to upset and unnerve her.
ReplyDeleteThe weather really does change us a bit, I think winter tends to make us weary. Gone are the colors of fall, the warmth of summer but, spring will return to us.
ReplyDeleteYou painted a beautiful picture of the changing of seasons Love it
ReplyDeleteI like the romance of the opening stanza, Robin, the bleakness of the lines:
ReplyDelete‘Then eerie mists appear at dawn
Soon blown away by the cruel north wind
And beaches now seen with empty strand’
and the way you turn it on a sixpence with the dog curled up and dreaming, the shining eyes of children and the first spring flowers.
I like the image of the dog once sprawled curled up into a ball. I think that's how we all face winter. Curling up cozy, finding warmth wherever we can. We become much more introverted... like the trees with nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteSeasons come and seasons go, but sometimes we get bogged down in the cold of winter, forgetting that it will not last forever.
ReplyDeleteI love you seasonal review as you look out at the trees stripped clean of leaves and the barren farmland..I must say that Christmas does provide a diversion, until those first spring bulbs, pop through the soil..and winter is only a seasonal visitor!!
