Paul Schneiter Poet Rhyme

Continuum

Dawn iced the birdbath and crisped the sunless air
to show time for winter to claim its shivered share.
Indeed the season is born again anew
just like the ones as a boy I knew.

So it is with every season since planet’s birth.
Each comes again asserting its worth
and blessing during its stay Mother Earth.

This winter now upon me will be endlessly back
in perennial wave after wave
ages after snow first covers my grave.

I shiver at the thought of iced bird baths and frosty mornings - all the best Paul - Lindsay Paul Schneiter November 3, 2020 at 5:28 AM Thank you, Lindsay. With your summer approaching, now would be a good time for me to move to Australia. Besides, I've always wanted to go there. Hugs xxx Paul

Silent One October 24, 2020 at 4:42 AM I can feel the coldness in this poem, each line, but still it is a wonder of mother nature and we can always adapt to the weather... Paul Schneiter November 3, 2020 at 5:33 AM Silent One: I appreciate your comment, especially the sentence about feeling the coldness. Fortunately, we humans are adaptable beings, as you note. Paul
