Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Gifts of Nature

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)

Mel Gill April 19, 2019 at 2:57 PM 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. Emile Pinet April 19, 2019 at 4:51 PM Thanks Mel, your support is most appreciated my friend, Emile.

Lawrence Sharp October 20, 2018 at 11:53 PM 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. Emile Pinet October 21, 2018 at 6:29 PM Thanks Lawrence, as always your support is most appreciated my friend, Emile.
