Nette Onclaud Poet Sonnet

As Autumn Ends

Snowdrop gleams brightly in the light
 On autumn's nape that hangs on iced trees;
 Its shine endures and fills the night 
With a lacquer from nature's alchemy.
Each shape is unique than the rest 
Wondrously strung as mist of worth
Rare flurry ones; its  chapter's best,
Designed by frost to enchant our earth
Woven tight flashing through chilled air
To warm  nips of November's spell
Oval or round, these gems declare
The sparkling white made to excel.

Lovely the flake in endless streams 
Bestowed to winter...nature's dream!
