Spring Coup

Ribbons of golden sunlight splay
the shades of gray
as glooming clouds
descend like shrouds.

Her chilling kiss of icy mist
denies our bliss;
Chilled to the bone
we rush for home.

But though the day seems dark and cold
Winter grows old.
Her days are few.
Spring plans a coup!

  Thanks Peter. I like trying different forms because their structure adds to the flow and meter of a poem. Makes my words sound good without even trying! 😉
