Winter Coming On

A fitting poem for today when it is dark and wet and cold.





Winter Coming On  -  29 Oct 16

The heady days of summer

Now long passed

The nights are getting longer

Becoming colder

Days cannot seem to hold

As much as they did

The songs of autumn

Just a fading memory

Leaves from the trees

Chased by the wind

Across the ground

Hiding in the corners

Soon only frost

Will rule the world

We shall await the warmth

Of beautiful spring days

But for now we watch

The winter coming on

I have heard that it is worse up-country.
