Wilma Neels Poet Quintain (English)

Embracing Winter

With the onslaught of winter
Days become shorter and the nights longer
The air becomes crisper
Trees fight winds as they get stronger 
The rain and the wind has signed a merger

The sun hides till late in the morning
While wrestling a cloud filled sky 
Dewdrops kiss the foliage when the day is dawning 
A blistering wind makes everything go awry 
When the rain starts falling, nothing is left dry...

Carolyn Devonshire November 8, 2010 at 9:33 AM Guess you don't see much snow in Cape Town, Wilma. I love the image of the dewdrops "kissing" the plants as dawn awakens the earth. Into each life a little rain must fall, but it seems like you have quite a bit of it! Too much of a good thing? Love, Carolyn
