Sara Kendrick Poet Rhyme

Winter's Touch

Winter's touch 'pon the peach orchard
Gray limbs await spring's buds
Lavender beauties adorning
When deer passed their ruts 

Winter's bare hold dark and dreary
Nature trapped within its spell
All buds captured in its lair
Joy could be quickly quelled

Then sunlight reaches through the gloom
Instantaneously gray removed
Warmth touches down to the sinew
Such a time now approved

Winter's peach orchard bare not barren
Spring will come and give birth
Time will call forth its forgotten
Come love dancing with mirth 

Sponsor: Juli-Michelle
Contest: Winter Blues
This is written in a form which is a type of 
Poulter's Measure

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2013 at 11:00 AM You did a lovely job with this poem, Sara. I sure remember you liking the Poulter's measure. I love how the sun can warm a winter's blue day.

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2013 at 10:59 AM on my winter's road poem, no there was not a crash. I was basing it on something that actually happened to myself many years ago. My car spun around a full U turn and ended up in the other side of the highway and going in the right direction though opposite of what I wanted!!
