The Song Of Frost

The twinkling tune of raindrops, freezing, forming on the limbs

The breathy flute like songs, as breezes blow

The rattling of the snare drums tapping, resting on the sill, the start of winter waiting to come in

The rush of tender, tingling strings building bites of frigid frost

Erupt with Mother Natures melodies

The strum of rustling leaves, an homage, as they paid ultimate costs

All twirling to the season’s symphonies

The sawing fiddle’s tremble, inviting Jack to sing along

As he adds a harmony of coming chill

Dancing in a swirl, a cymbal banging like a gong

Ending in a chorus of the whippoorwills

    Delicate and musical. The imagery turns winter’s arrival into a living symphony. Beautifully composed
