A Splendid Winter Wood – 5th December 2024

It’s a splendid winter wood
– On a chilly December morning
– – The crunchy road straight
– – Towards the gnarly wooden gate
– Unhinged a snowy warning
Where splendid walls once stood

It’s a splendid moss a-growing
– To shade this dewy frost
– – Ray’s barely breaking through
– – Another turn remained true
– At a further year’s cost
Awaiting the splendid summer’s glowing

  1. A beautiful winter scene! Your words describe a cold December morning with snow and a old wooden gate. It’s a peaceful picture. You also hint at the promise of warmer summer days to come. This is a beautiful piece.
