Phil Capitano Poet Sonnet

Winter Magic

WINTER MAGIC

Winter bites at the heels of November,
A stronger lead up I can’t remember.
Snow is piling up in centimeters,
Wind speaks in iambic pentameter.

A tiara trees triumphantly wear,
Starlings by the flock do come here to stare.
The North is full of impractical weather,
With the Solstice comes new snowy feathers.

Darkness brings a calm and being alone
I slip on December, chilled to the bone,
Embrace the magic in curtains of light.
In that quiet moment of second sight,

‘Neath Aldebaran and the silver Moon
I bow to the spirits, feel my heart swoon.
