A Splendiferous Storm
Pink, cotton candy clouds, bandaging blue,
sop scarlet from a hemorrhaging sky.
Purple pigments add a violet hue,
as a setting sun watches Autumn die.
An icy chill sucks the warmth from your soul
wherever skin gets exposed to the wind.
Winter approaches to exact Her toll;
delayed by Autumn, Her patience has thinned.
A flurry of flakes confetti the air,
swirling as if inside 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.
