Late winter


from the ABC set Poems

Heavy is my world
slowly it spins and turns
grudgingly on tilted axis

Strong determined the winds
that blow among the stars
scattering in panic
frightened whispy clouds

Forceful is the rain
drenching trees, the leaves
mulching up the land

Cold dark is my mind
in this slowly
turning winter world.
