Winter Woe Poem by Frederick Nellist

A depressing wakening a new born day
Tell us autumn where gone your gold
White carpets command mornings light
Winter invading to freeze and scold
North winds music dispensing spite
One long season, one long cold kiss
Inclement singing Jack Frost's alive
Skates and snowmen a delinquents bliss.

Oh winter woe what have you in store
Icicles like soldiers parade the wall
Frozen water with sharp pointed ends
To become deadly spears ready to fall
Once happy days are not now well spent
It's been quite a battle who dares wins
Mother nature is sounding your recall
Bon voyage winter we forgive your sins.
