Geoffrey Brewer Poet Quintain (English)

Winter Quintain

Across the Heath the chill'ed land’s in sleep
The Bushes hunched, the bare trees holding still
In cyclic pattern: seasons’ lives bespeak
Not grip of death but life's farseeing will
That shall revive and Nature’s wish fulfil

Suzanne Delaney December 28, 2021 at 5:40 PM I like your Winter Quintain Geoffrey. It does convey that feeling of life in freeze frame waiting to feel the awakening touch of spring again. Best, SuZ Geoffrey Brewer December 29, 2021 at 1:31 AM Thank you very much for your feedback, Suzanne.
