Winter is coming

kitty the naughty poet

Stark words ring true 
winter is coming
rainy days versus chilly nights 
rise to roads covered in sparkles 
as the breeze sings 
between the leaves of life
insisting trees shed their skin
embracing the season of white
bitter winds sweep smiles to frowns
clouds skip from grey to ivory 
convincing snow to fall
on frostbitten noses 
crimson and displayed in ice
Starks are always right in the end
Winter has come and will come again.

      I'm not a great fan of winter but you make it sound so cool ........... well crafted and a little silvery gem if ever there was ................................... Neville

      Love the fierce graphic and too the crafted shape of your verse Katie - - snow has a thrill of its own and you tell it so well in this versing of shivery winter.

      You've made me shudder with your chill words and it already in minus temperatures outside.

      I wonder what thrills and spills climate change will snow down on us this winter..... are you ready for them..... candles and log fires i suspect.

      personally, I truly appreciate
      the diversity, in Blighty's
      extreme, and distinct:
      four season's..
      although, we frown - outside
      we appreciate our home's
      that much more, in winter
      and all that time, we spend
      clustered inside, hiding
      from the bitter cold
      prepares us, for the freedom
      in our much beloved, Spring;
      almost, as if
      it was what natured, intended...
      (a wonderful read, thanks for sharing)

      The final line is the perfect finish. Much enjoyed!

      And as a GOT fan, Stark winter says so much more than just winter! Great one.....
