A rhyme royal for the new year...


A Rhyme Royal for the New Year


The new year surely is upon us now,
And all it holds is scarcely ours to know;
But winter's fading once more will allow
That creeping green where late were ice and snow--
The rebirth that is spring, which bids us grow!
And daylight: Does it not e'en now grow longer?
The very thought's enough to make us stronger!

I've yet to attempt writing a rhyme royal, but after reading your wonderful poem, I'd like to give it a go. Your rhythm and rhyme are flawless, and this verse is really a great read.

we are autumn bound, winter is coming in it's chill. Glad to hear about your seasonal thought's springing into action, thought I would spring a comment seeing it's a time for Spring.
