Lyrical Sunday - Gateway.

I didn't post the prompt this week and I hope you don't all disappear because of that. I should really schedule a month or two in advance.

This is the poem I wrote for the UH Library Poetry Day competition. The theme was Gateway to the Outdoors. If you would like to submit anything this week please do and I will link up on Thursday.

Winter whispers

Winter’s breath,

Smoke and fog,

Blurs the evergreens,

Beneath a soft grey.

Within the haze,

White on green,

A whisper

Entreating.

Do not forget me.

I am still here.

The frosted gate,

Opens still.

I remain,

Shrouded in grey,

Disguised in white.

Do not forget me.

Come, find me.

On the hills,

By the river,

In the fields.
