Reluctant

[Poeticpiers]

Reluctant.

Although the autumn’s with us still.
The warning signs are plain to see.
The early mornings hold a chill
as winter moves in furtively
The skirmishers sent to survey
where best to mount the main attack
He hopes to win his kingdom back
enforce his rule with ice and snow.
Banish all colour from the scene.
Regarding colour as his foe
‘Til only black and white is seen
He knows in time spring will return
and warm sunshine will free the land
and melt the ice bound frozen burn.
King Winter does not understand
why seasons have to take their turn
but must obey the prime command.
