Winter's Wrath: A Shakespearean Sonnet
When biting winds assail the barren plain,
And icy tempests howl through leafless trees,
The earth is shackled by cold winter’s reign,
Its frozen grip refuses warmth or ease.
The pallid sun doth trek a shortened sky,
And pale as ghosts, the meadows lost their hue;
Sharp frost adorns each branch where blossoms die,
While silent fields are veiled in silver blue.
Yet in this cruel and furious hour,
A beauty lurks within the storm’s embrace;
The crystal world gleams with secret power,
And stillness settles over every place.
So though fierce winter’s wrath may seem unkind,
Its icy art leaves wonder in our mind.
