Winter Morning - a Sapphic Stanza

Winter morning - overcast skies again with

little hope of seeing the sunshine brightly 

over head, a dreary and wretched morning. . .
 
          longing for Springtime!

Thank you, Carolyn, I appreciate your kind words. I had written a nice Rispetto for your contest and then realized my theme was all wrong...I will save it in my hip pocket. John

This form is similar to one that I created for a challenge at my website. I call it "Four Plus One" The only difference is, there are no syllables. It is optional. :) I have posted a few poems here, using the four plus one method. Just like you my friend, I am ready for those Springtime Moments. ~ Brandy

Thank you, Brandy, for your thoughts. I had not heard of this form, the meter was different than anything I had ever tried. I appreciate you. John

WoW! John, You tackled this hard contest. I'm staying away from it. You made it look easy. It's well written and has good content. I hope to see you on the winners list. Good luck my friend:-) Alexis

Thank you so much, Alexis, I appreciate it. Reading Craig's explanation it sounds extremely difficult, but in reality it is quite easy. John
