War of the Seasons

War of the Seasons

 

The eastbound winds blowing hard from the countries mid-west chugged grey wintry clouds through the Chrysler Buildings stainless steel spire.

 

Like an ocean going freighter they lumbered by endlessly.

 

In between the darkened train of winters last trail shot sun bursts through holes of blue that caused squints as the arrows of rays ricocheted off of the towers into unguarded eyes.

 

To see the big battleship clouds fire out burst of white snow flakes against the dueling skies made for wonder as the seasons jousted for control of the world above the city.

Once again an excellent write show casing your talent and ability to deliver the reader an ability to visually perceive the world through your written word.

I would have done it in stanza's. I think it would be more poignant because the reader would have to pause and therefore pick up more meaning. A sunny snow was what i thought of, and all the glistening and dichotomy that it would create. Beautiful just beautiful. Write on......
