Barry Stebbings Poet Rhyme

Under Winter Skies

Under Winter Skies

      Aurora dance and, in folds of colour, glow
      Under the sparkling dome of Winter skies.
      Northern winds from the frozen Arctic blow
      And across the icy land cry and moan.
      Migrating birds from summer nests are flown
      When the bright Winter constellations rise.
      The old Season ebbs; New Year's hopes are sown 
      Below darkened skies as slow passing hours flow.
