Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Lakeside Chill on Winter Morn

The dank cold chill
stills the dawn 
to forlorn quietude,
as the day hopes 
in vain for
summer rays to
lift eyelids awake 
to a warm break of day.

Shorebirds huddle 
out of the shadows 
to catch the glimmer
of weak light rays
that trickle onto
the sand flats.

Syrupy waves ripple
the lake's surface
trying their best
to make the best of
the frigid situation,
with the scene
blanketed by the cold.

Yet the lakeside chill knows
its reign is short-lived,
with the lake's vignette
hanging-out 
for Spring's relieving
high-five touché touch
of warmth.
