A Splendiferous Storm
Purple pigments add a vermilion hue
to a scarlet sun that's about to die.
And pink cottony clouds bandaging blue;
sop scarlet from a hemorrhaging sky.
An icy chill saps the warmth from your soul,
exposed skin quickly ravaged by the wind.
For Winter has come to exact Her toll,
delayed by Autumn; Her patience has thinned.
A flurry of flakes, confetti the air;
swirling about as in Nature’s snow globe.
And skeletal trees no longer stand bare,
their branches draped in a soft, downy robe.
Winter arrives in magnificent form;
escorted by a splendiferous storm.
