Arctic
monstrosity
slithers like a serpent,
enveloping all that obstructs
its path.
Seeping
relentlessly into breaches,
seeking out sentience,
eager to end
us all.

Narnian Landscape
The Narnian landscape still
Beneath its crystal blanket,
Motionless at Winter’s will,
The Narnian landscape still.
Paralyzed beneath the chill,
Petrified by Jack Frost’s net,
The Narnian landscape still
Beneath its crystal blanket.

The Ice Queen Awakens
The Ice Queen awakens from slumber deep
Irked that Mother Nature stirred her from sleep.
Promptly she devises a wily plot
To silence everything within earshot.
With a frosty yawn, cold begins to seep;
Seeking warm haven, the birds cease to cheep.
She then sets her sights on the trees to threap.
With a polar hand, she gives them a swat.
The Ice Queen awakens…
Dead, leaves plunge from branches into a heap.
With a jeer she says, “You get what you reap.”
Joyous echos fade off ’til she hears naught.
She’s attained quiescence with this onslaught.
She savors the hush in her glacial keep.
The Ice Queen awakens…
Snowfall Sunrise
The daylight removes nightfall’s veil
Exposing nature’s new detail.
As beams ascend into the skies
Darkness surrenders to sunrise.
Winter reveals a new landscape,
Rooftops brandishing their new cape.
As lifeless trees boast their disguise,
Darkness surrenders to sunrise.
In the valleys and the highlands
Snowflakes sparkle like they’re diamonds.
The world begins to crystallize.
Darkness surrenders to sunrise.
The daylight removes nightfall’s veil,
Darkness surrenders to sunrise.

Droplets of Sunlight
As the leaves tumble
The colors of Autumn fade
Trees brace themselves for Winter
Droplets of sunlight
Release flickers of hope and
Promise the return of Spring
