Petrichor
The Song Of Winter
**
The smell of the dirt
As the mist kisses the ground
Air and earth flirt
While the breeze blows changes around
Bites of rain falls
With small hints of crystal
Clinging for life to the walls
frozen bullets in pistols
Surrendering will
Giving way to its slumber
Peacefully still
While its predecessor takes over
Warm breath forming clouds
Exhilarating release
Her tinsel enshrouds
Providing a blanketed peace
Gatherers and hunters
Prepare for the freeze
They shake and they shutter
At the drop in degrees
But Mother Nature provides
Deep within she instills
And she lovingly sits beside
Warming them of their chills
A natural process
And nature plays along
As the wind in the trees
Sing its lullaby song

I am so glad you chose this word. I featured it in one of my stories last month. It is such an elegant word and your poem does it complete justice., Nice work Kelli.
Stunning work Kelli! 🩷🧡🩷🧡
Such beautiful prose, Kelli <3
Immediate sensory experience 😍 'Earth flirt' oh this is so nice on the ear, and the tongue. There's something so soft and pleasing, about the way you wrote this. Warm breath forming clouds. I felt like I am being placed into the scene you are describing. I especially like how you included the gatherers and hunters. As they must depart to prepare for the freeze. I am blown away. You kept the rhythm locked till the end. Loved this, ' as the wind in the trees, Sing it's lullaby song' 🤗❤️
I can feel the cold and the chills with your words of a coming season.
Fall wind certainly can be lullaby song .
