Chris Green Poet Sonnet

The Cold Is Now a Distant Memory

The cold is now a distant memory

As snowfall comes the heaviest in years
With drifts now formed of northern wind that blows
For all I see is covered, it appears
Pure white the only color now that shows
The chill inside my body steady grows
I can’t believe this morning that I chose

I shiver as I’m trudging through the gate
My hands and feet are frozen to the core
When will this frigid weather soon abate
Not sure I can withstand this anymore
Have never seen such weather, this before
I wonder what the future has in store

When suddenly such beauty comes my way
Of every dream my mind might hope to see
Her face as if a heavenly display
My eyes, behold, the warmest artistry
True love this day is standing next to me
The cold is now a distant memory

My heart hath found this morning ever grand
An angel born this winter wonderland

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 28, 2018 at 11:52 AM I agree w/Lisa ... beautiful dreamy romantic poetry at its best, Chris. You are a true light bearer of romantic poetry. Keep up the joyous ink strokes of love radiance. Splendid sonnet, my dear friend. Love and more love always.

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 28, 2018 at 11:56 AM Btw ... in regard to your thoughtful comments on my poem today, I'm a fierce opponent of those who choose war to promote their spurious motives. Just so you know ... Love and peace always.

Lisa Cooper November 28, 2018 at 10:28 AM beautiful write Chris Green November 28, 2018 at 10:38 AM Thanks so much Lisa. It is my first attempt I think at writing a sonnet and for this contest they wanted an Urban Sonnet which I found much more difficult.
