WINTER UPON A SUMMERS DAY

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

Why Winter upon
A Summers day  ?
Paper to breeze
Words to say
Time it warped
The cosmos strayed
Love it angled
Hopes they prayed.

Grey skies challenged
The seasons sun
Spots of rain
Which had become
Marbled tears
Frozen deep
Emotion which
Began to seep.

A bitter hail
Its anger shallow
Forced the moment
To be hollowed
Its empty shell
A pining heart
Why Winter upon
The Summers start ?

    You waited so long at that bus stop in Summer, that it was Winter when the bus came along?! lol.

        lol. There's one bus route here, runs one journey once a week. Catch it on the way back, or wait a week stranded?! Other routes are more frequent thankfully.

          Here the dichotomy of winter and summer is expressed in opposition yet one become the other. Well done

          Good write Norman, it does happen, in 1975 a cricket match in June was stopped because of snow.
