Can't think of a poetic line
put good mainstay into rhyme
write about a seasonal change
a favorite temperature range

how leafy courses
change resources
bark supporters
then lay bare
once shielded by lush green
winter scene steps into view
one thought he had a handle on time
before signs of life buried their goods
think of a poetic line
from fall to winter on a dime
mercury dips to a lower scale end
feet will trudge through snow again

can't think of a poetic verse
would be the writer's curse
there's always the time of day
a character of sun's golden rays

day that once extended beyond reach
then collapses as broken speech
an intensity of light wanes
the earth tilts in discontent
robes once ripped open
then layer upon layer
as winter sundries do
shorter days chill the skin
nightly shadows cover kin

Hey Martin,
  This is truly beautiful.
I love it.
  Had 8 1/2 inches of snow for Thanksgiving here but the rain is taking care of it.

Thank-you for a smile.

:-)

Within this heart you'll find love
