WINSOMENESS OF WINTER ~ ANGELA & BRIAN ~ A SONNET

 

IN THE UK - A SNOWMAN - SAYS \'WINTER IS HERE !\'

 

CRISP WINTER ~ Final Season of the year

Comes suddenly when awesome Autumns past

The frost ~ makes Winter mornings bright and clear

But fosters Winters biting icy blasts !

 

But Winters winsomeness is also there

The snow which hides the scars of furrowed ground

The frost that sparkles on the hedgerows bare

The snow that muffles harsh industrial sound !

 

Ah ! Winter - time of joy & peace & cheer

Of carols sweet & chimes of Christmas bells

The promise of  \"The Love that casts out fear\" 

The pleasures of sweet spicy Christmas smells !

 

Remind us after Winter comes the Spring

Which \"All things Bright & Beautiful\" will bring !

 

Thanks for visit - comments welcome - Love B & A  🧡🧡🧡

 

This is our final offering - we have come full circle in our

Quartet of Seasonal Poems !  Spring - Summer - Autumn

Winter !  Its been quite different for me in AUCKLAND NZ !

When I arrived in June 2018 Winter was just starting -

but being sub-tropical we didnt get no SNOW ! Never below

10C (50F) @ noon and Sailing all year round in the BAY !

We have had a mild Winter in South of England 21C (70F)

last week but colder now (5C = 40F) snow in the NORTH !

Many Members in the USA & Canada & Scandinavia have

experienced real heavy snow this Winter but Spring is on

its way !  Blessings & Love to all - ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡
