Crackling, crunchy leaves confetti the ground as skeleton trees rattle their bare bones. And gusty winds howl like a soulful hound while kids mope indoors, glued to their cellphones. Indistinguishable, they look like clones and seem as enthusiastic as stones. Winter's approach gets labeled a bad thing, covering everything in snow and ice. And migrating songbirds no longer sing, they've left before Winter exacts Her price. But changing seasons is like adding spice, just think of a snowflake as something nice. All the mosquitos have frozen to death, and life gets swathed in a snowy duvet. Winter entices with a frosty breath, enjoy Her; don't think of Her as a threat. Indulge in all the Winter you can get, there is more to life than the internet. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are real gifts of Nature, designed to make us feel. (Urban Sonnet) 10/20/2018

Very nice, Emily. One chapter of my book: 'Points in Between' (birth and death)to be in print by July, contains a chapter on gifts of nature. Look for it on at Friesen Publishing, Amazon, Kobo and others.

Great write, Emile. I like the way you've laced a mostly poetic, old world style of expression with a few well timed 21st Century references. A good point very well conveyed.
