Ottava Rima
A poem with a rhyme scheme of AB,AB,AB,CC with a syllable count of ten (10 in each line ).
With dawn's light shining incredibly bright,
I woke to the trickle of melting snow.
Suggesting spring had arrived overnight,
dripping icicles set my heart aglow.
And though winter is still holding on tight,
in a smattering of weeks, it'll let go.
And flowers will start to pop from the ground
whist snowdrifts shrink without making a sound.
The honking of wild geese flocking back home,
is a most welcomed tune to northern ears.
For frozen lakes morph into liquid chrome,
as ice crystals dissolve in spring's warm tears.
And a cold white world, packed in styrofoam,
revives, as it has for millions of years,
resurrecting colors winter buried
spring starts sprouting seeds, summer winds carried.
I can't wait to see small patches of green
polka dot the alabaster landscape.
When snow no longer dominates the scene,
skeletal shadows begin changing shape.
And every breath of air smells fresh and clean,
as a sunny sun offers some escape.
For it shines with an optimistic glow,
and soon, spring's beauty will begin to show.
