THE CHILL WIND

 

The chill wind

Bitter and biting

Buffeted the house

Rattling the windows

And whistling at the door

Exploiting every weakness

Exposing every crack

To chill us to our bones

SNOWDROPS IN WINTER

 

Snowdrops in winter

Mother nature’s heralds

Of the coming spring

MOONLIGHT GLINTS

 

Moonlight glints

On the silent vales

Dressed crisply

In winters cloak

Lying like rippled silk

On the frozen land

THE WIND WHISTLES

 

The wind whistles

The frozen rain bites

And the chill runs deep

And we must escape

To shelter safe inside

Where the Barn Owls sleep

THE SAVAGE NATURAL SCENE

 

The savage natural scene

In the winter meadow

Where the Falcon feeds

His talons red in the snow

NORTH WIND

 

The north wind blows in

Leaving winter in its wake

Till spring reawakens

FLAKES OF WHITE

 

Dancing on the breeze

Crystal flakes of white

Tell the winter tale
