Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Moody, Moody Blue

Flurries bite as the raven drools
it sits on frosted boughs and trills.
Amid the numb of winter’s limbs
its call, the threadbare air, refills.

My eyes mirror the lone hill’s song
while breaths cry out to agonize.
Deep within a moonless backdrop
phases of blue cause dullness to rise.

Prickly snow defrocks my gladness
Embedding stains on bleak frontier.
Oh torch of light, kindle the pyre
to awaken mood quite sullen here!

Russell Sivey December 31, 2013 at 8:59 PM I am fascinated by what you have bestowed upon me and my soul by this illustrious write! You have delighted me completely by the splendor of this incredible poem my friend! I really enjoyed reading this awesome piece this evening! My favorite and the most intriguing line has to be, "Amid the numb of winter’s limbs" a very tremendous line! What a special poem, Great Work!!

Tim Ryerson December 31, 2013 at 6:42 PM I always try to pick out a favorite line but what you doin here girl? All are stunning, melancholy and so eloquently written. Okay! IF you insist...'Prickly snow defrocks my gladness'...Oh yes indeed. The 'moody' repeat in the title tops it off...

Juaneco Torrente December 31, 2013 at 5:57 PM What a strong intro with a mellow follow-up of a blue feeling this season.This leaves me speechless as the longing for a brighter winter is so intricately marked. Such talent, Nette!
