Overthrow

The bamboo wind chimes sing wind's song Blue-gray clouds almost drip Yet the Tulip Treee sends forth blooms Will cold do oneupmanship? Out on the porch damp and too cold Still winter but blooms show In limbo thoughts and deep feelings Waiting spring's overthrow Out the kitchen window its gray Only brightened by birds They come in colors red and blue Beauty in other words How I'm thankful for their flutter For when the rain starts_gone They'll hide in some dry secret place And give me denouement

Beautiful scenario of winter very well painted. A contrast of the 'Winter Be Gone' Contest of Frankline Roberts. Most admirable write. -Mohammad

i wrote a poem with this in mind. hot cold hot cold. and i thought a prophetic vision of an earth quake. a big one. when Hannibal had to take the elephants over the mountians, to move the rocks to big to move they had to break them by making them hot and then cold. this weather may break a plate.

This is quite the beautiful and enlightening write my friend! I truly loved reading this harmonious poem, with birds and all! I enjoyed this piece with all its coldness and rain and grey skies, and how they eventually all brighten up and become gorgeous! Great Work!!
