Here is a poem in traditional AB,AB, CD, CD, EF EF form to celebrate the coming of Winter.
For those of you who have asked; Yes, even in the South of France, we still have four seasons!
******* Winter Comes Creeping In *******
With Winter only days away,
The morning air provides a reason,
For windows closed throughout the day,
A preview of the coming season.
. . .
The mid-day sun is bright and warm,
But never seems to be,
Too much to bear, for heat has charm,
On fleeting days we see.
. . .
The hearth stands ready for nights by the fire,
Hot cocoa seems less of a sin,
It’s time for big sweaters and the Yuletide choir,
When Winter comes creeping in.
