Winter's Approach
Sweet songbirds sing no cheerful refrains,
only silence greets Winter's approach.
Bittersweet; Autumn colors signal
Winter storms are destined to encroach.
The barbecue grills are stowed away;
when the skies morph into clouds of grey.
And as mildew spreads on rotting leaves,
Deja vu feelings come into play.
Snowdrifts smother slippery streets till
slow-moving snowplows arrive on site.
And abandoned cars are left stranded,
yet the city looks clean, draped in white.
Everyone is snowbound, and yet folks
cling to the hope; Winter won't stay long.
Spring will soon arrive, and instantly,
lure the songbirds back to sing their song.
