Alaska

What icy wind has brought this darkened day
it hearkens to the depth of it's bowel
from this day hence,until the month of May
like the lonely wolf mates, deep throaty howl
to breathe is almost like a winter fray
as so dost the Arctic Polar Bear scowl
My heart yearns for the budding in April
Thus will quell this winters foreboding shrill



Tough style!

Hi Richard, A wonderfully written Ottava rima. A new form of poetry for me. I'm from Alaska and winter is here in all its glory. I love the winter festivities! The northern lights with the moon that lights up the snow. Every season is very beautiful here! Thanks for sharing, smile. Happy Holiday season to you and yours. Love Light Patty

Sounds like a cold and forboding place to be. Of course, we know that it is just a topic. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
