Janet Grace Poet Rhyme

A Winter's Night

*************

                              Gold bronzed sunset told a lie
                                  The winter storm came
                                  As the night passed by

                               High drifts progress was made
                                   While the night was as 
                                 Black as the Ace of Spades

                                 Silver moon was riding high 
                                   But it's light grew so dim
                                    Behind the midnight sky

                                    Morning brightly arrived
                                     But the sparkling of the
                                    Landscape hurt my eyes


                                      Sporadic flakes still flew
                                     Drippy icicles had accrued
                                     Winter I am so tired of you

                                          ******************

CayCay Godwin December 3, 2016 at 1:03 AM What an unexpected ending! Made me chuckle - I like your take on the contest and wish you all the best ... CayCay Janet Grace January 10, 2017 at 1:27 PM Thank you Cay Cay. I didn't win but that's ok. I enjoyed writing the write.

Heidi Sands December 1, 2016 at 2:55 PM You did very well with this Janet! :) Janet Grace December 1, 2016 at 3:23 PM Thank you, Heidi.

David Bose December 1, 2016 at 1:37 PM Nice description, Janet, you really caught the character of a storm. Nice. Dave Janet Grace December 1, 2016 at 3:25 PM Don't like storms do not appeal to me no matter how pretty the landscape is the next day. Once winter is here I just want it to go away.

Chris Green December 1, 2016 at 12:40 PM This was great. We don't get much winter at all where I live but what little we do get, I tire of quickly. ; ) Chris Green December 1, 2016 at 12:50 PM I visited that area in September of 15, somewhere near Stroudsburg at a B&B, hoping for a little fall weather. It was warmer there than it was in Texas where I am from at the time. :) Janet Grace December 1, 2016 at 12:45 PM Try living in Northeastern PA, on second thought don't. Spring summer and fall are delightful but the winter is frightful! Thanks for the review. (smile)
