Somber Season Whimsical notions of balmy days Interrupt my moods of gray, Summer has fleeted away, Winter has settled to stay. Hazy somber skies loom With dark clouds of gloom, Bluebirds of bliss have flown, Winter's seeds are sown. The magic of summer dreams Slowly ebb to winter scenes, Thoughts of summers persuasion Are quelled by winter's invasion. Gone are my starry nights Flown my hearts delight, My fondness for summer stays Clouded by winter's hue of grays. Leaves of brown strewn around, Colors of drabness abound, Trees are barren and forlorn Disrobed by winter's scorn. I dread the approaching snows And Icy winds biting blow, There is nowhere I can go But to a fires warm glow. Sinister storm clouds hang low, Too soon there will be snow, The weather vane wildly spins, Another wicked winter begins. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
