Winter

Winter

 

The sky is frail and liquid,

A lean and wintry day;

The trees leafless and barren-

Eerily dark and gray.

 

The wind of winter blows hard,

Its fate is dreary and grim,

Upon the willows, oaks and elms,

Along the desolate roads within.

 

Deep in the woods of the season,

Grave and hollow therein,

Looms a cold and shadowy mist

That blows in the wind.

 

A frosty haze on the full Wolf Moon

Heralds a winter night,

Frozen in the snowy ground

Are footprints in a distant light!

This is an excellent poem that stays on its theme,uses rhymes that are never forced (not easy) and is full of beauty and acute observation.Great.
