    Old Man Winter

    The snow is melting on the hills,
    The Ice is full of doubt;
    The winds are blowing softer now
    And less inclined to pout.

    A pride of daffodils arise
    To strut their frocks of green;
    The birds are flying from the south
    And singing for the queen.

    The cows are lowing in the stalls,
    The horses kick the air;
    Old man winter's weak and wane,
    And rocking in his chair.

    Hoos I love the metaphors and gradual shifting of winter to spring. It is a quaint, to-the-point read with wit and creativity. The rhyming is excellent. ginga

    I really liked this! Your work is very well crafted. Condensed well formed thought that belies its complexity with simple verse. This type of work is hard to do. I really appreciated this! Thanks!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
