Cold Night

The sun cowers and slinks away woefully in the West
The clouds have escaped the whipping winds
Nowhere to be found
Hiding below the horizon
Shivering in sheer terror
Oaks and alders, cedars and elms
Sway in a voodoo dance
Entranced by the overture of whistle and howl
Shedding their coats with a scowl
The whooshing winter wind
Heaves once clinging leaves
Against my shivering pane
The backlit rose-red-yellow-brown kaleidoscope
Slides like impressionist oil down my window
Battered and limp remnants of a long past Spring
No longer green and new
In one last great swirling flame
Defiance in crimson and ochre
They fight to stay afloat
Only to be beaten and thrown to the ground
Broken and pale
It’s going to be a long cold night

I think this poem is rich with description.
The clouds in terror , the trees in a voodoo
dance and the colorful leaves giving one
last great act of resistence before death.
I could feel this poem and see it in my mind
and I enjoyed it very much. Great writing.
Truly , Doug |
