WINTER’S WRATH

WINTER’S WRATH


Fury of winter is full
Of snowstorms and sunburns.
Lakes are frozen, roads are blocked
And nothing moves or turns.

Not a blade of grass is seen.
No insect lurks or crawls.
Not a wing flaps in the sky.
It seems life almost stalls.

Snow blindness and frostbite tend
To make men immobile.
Taking one step is too hard,
Like trudging a full mile.

Let’s not be despondent when
We know in months a few,
Spring will be here again and
Life will begin anew!
