A Wintry Dawn

Woke up to a cold and wintry morn, No blue sky, just a threatening dawn. Clouds are low and a dirty grey, Look full of rain ready to cascade today. No sun to see to give us mirth, Waiting for the deluge to water the earth. Then, as I watched, to my delight, The sun burst though, shining bright. The clouds dispersed as the sun shone down, Wiping away the mornings frown. Another nice day in Cyprus. © Dave Timperley 13/12/2018

Ah, Thank you Anne-Lise, lovely to hear from you. Here in Cyprus we do not take to well to the cold weather, even though it is mainly at night. Take care, and have a wonderfully delicious Christmas. God Bless. D.

Hello Dave, I do like this poem. When the snow covers the empty trees it looks beautiful. Have a nice evening my friend.

No snow here Darlene, just gets a little cold[15 degrees which is cold for us] But weather can change dramatically through winter. I'm a summer person. Thanks for your comments. God Bless. D.
