The Winter Blues

The Winter Blues Robert J. Lindley Winter blew in with a scant little whimper Fall skulked away with hardly a peep Deep cold, blowing winds fit some's temper Yet others they sadden enough to weep! Snow brings its beauty and shining charms Frigid air sets furry critters about Blizzards blasting forth set great alarms Where frozen forested cries ring out. Nature knows best and gives as she pleases Hardest season sets the coming stage Death and pain, of which Spring then eases Time for each, says the wizened sage! Cold chills, hang glisten silent through the night Decembers solstice sets the stage northbound Jack Frost pretends to be Earth's white knight Dark days of winter winds; ice-kiss the ground Autumn renews chilling barren vows, Wonderland enables the sun on numb Icicles form, a voice shared -leaving nature roused Winter's blue melodies washed down with rum A cold peril storm, enjoying the winter sky Frostbitten dawn, desolate sunset of worthlessness A leafless desire to intensify nature's supply Loss from exposed skin, of hopelessness *** Snow, Sleet, and hell; patients needing detox Atlas Spring gives way to the Viral Equinox (Robert Lindley and Poet Destroyer co-write) ~ ~ A Poet Destroyer Collaboration ~ ~ ---------------------------------------------------- Contest: Collaboration Celebration- subject- Winter Reflections.
