Winter Moments

Soft, the powdery feet
Scamper now along the street
Blanketed in sleet

White socked windy feet
Stretched under winter's soft sheet
Of ice thin deceit

Soft now the winds bleat
And stagger through the cold wheat
All footprints delete

Sucking the clouds teat
The pastured winds softly bleat
Winter's flock is sleet

Bright sun has no heat
To melt winter's powdered feet
Or gnaw the snow's sheet.

this is unusual and unique, david. I too liked number four the best like Eaon did. Also the third because I love a wintery scene in a field. And I loved the ending how poor sun cannot break through it. (typo on powdered). Also this could be labeled Monorhyme!! Luv, Andrea
