Sidney Beck Poet Couplet

First Sunbeam

FIRST SUNBEAM

  Ray   of   clear sun  shows
   Across  the heaps of snows


   The  whiteness's  rival,
   Announcing the soon  arrival


   Of a host of  its  fellows -
   Welcome yellows,


   Not yet melting  - 
   Calling distantly to  spring.


   A simple beam of light
   Warning  the  winter’s  white:   
       
   
   Our   time is now,  brother -
   You must move over  for  another
 
………………………………………………………………

Note:

Canadian winters can be long and severe, and the 
first hint of an ending is when  the  sun breaks through,
even though  it is  still  freezing weather.

Shani Fassbender April 12, 2011 at 12:02 PM I really can relate to these words; about two weeks ago we were still experiencing snow and ice in my part of the world. I like winter, but it was really extending its stay for too long. Very nice to read Sydney!
