    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!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
