Winter’s Kiss



Frozen soft is winters kiss

Nev’r so bared as on naked lips 


Sprightly trees still standing tall 

Upright tombs of years bygone


Housing pipes that will soon 

run endlessly with life giving sap


Roofs, lightened with icing sugar 

Deep inside your hearth’s desire


Busily made with lots of flurry 

Sumptuously eaten with slow aplomb 


Night sky has quickly fallen 

The lands bright with reflective light


Limbs frozen, feet of ice 

Stamped and shaken, life regales


Where is the rhyme in all this verse 

Out jumps it, like a curse. 


END

Penned sometime 2019
