Winter is Nigh - revised


the cold eats my bones
leaves fall
in a bright
gold
maze
dark days
of rain
are leaving
and night
is here
too soon
a fence hides
a howling dog
gives thought
to the source
of its croon
while the moon
falls past
the crest
in the dark
which will pass
while the cold
eats my bones

A seasonal poem that is perfectly seasoned. A good write, Eli. Keep writing.

Brrrr, this matches the weather here today, when spring ought to be on the way. Enjoyed the phrase "when the moon falls past the crest."
