Late day storm, and
the shadow of its aftermath

harsh shades of grey solder
to the barest of branches

over last spring's nests
on the somber toned sky,
a whisper of lavender

for now, the only pastel
and hint at rebirth
on this redundant wintry night

Oh, the "hint of rebirth" can be taken a couple of ways, Emma. Both of them will be good.

The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

Beautiful, EmmeRose. I'm glad there is, at least, that hint, amidst the stark beauty of winter's deprivation.

Winter is a beautiful season for many reasons, but it's brutality is more often remembered.

Old folks recalling "the winter of_______" (fill in the year) and such.

Your poetry, in its lovely allegorical way, appreciates the character of Winter while finding subtle airs of Spring.

Pleasurable reading.
