Cloaked In the Gray

Mist rolls through silently, ghost in the trees. The near field glistens; the far fades away. Spring creates longing on days such as these; Winter’s advancing, has nothing to say. The near field glistens; the far fades away, formless and shifting, as far as one sees. All is enshrouded and cloaked in the gray. Spring creates longing on days such as these; waiting for sunshine to come out and play, water drops shelter, avoiding the freeze. Winter’s advancing, has nothing to say, intruding so rudely, quite ill at ease, seeks no permission, intending to stay.

Jeff, I really liked this poem and enjoyed the read. The rhymes you chose, although not necessary, were charming and worked so well. I love the imagery and the idea of winter feeling so unwelcome, yet is planning to stay. Marvelous. A FAVE for me.
