Winter Wear

Trees abandoned from their leaves Wearing boughs of lichen sleeves A blanket from the cold breeze When the blustery north wind teases 7/7/7/9 "Lind30" Form developed by Robert Lindley

Winter wear of the trees! Such a skillful imagery! but may i ask, for the accurate rhyming, shouldn't "teases" be "tease" with breeze? I don't think its grammatically incorrect or is it? Thanks - Marshall.

I think you are right~ teases is a bit awkward~ Thanks for stopping by to comment and I am glad you enjoyed the imagery! :)Paulette

"A grand painting as winter, its old garments shed. Aroused from darken stupor, its frigid bed. To blast like a windmill and send us its sad moans. Nary a concern cracklings of wee little stones." You gifted us a winter scene that speaks of its powers. It earthen purpose in being! A fav... God bless..

Winter tragedies are described in a magnificent rhyme, yet we must adapt to the conditions. One week is terrific, the next is dreadful.

The winter does offer us a time to pause~not to "smell the roses" but to reconnect and savor them. :)Paulette
