On the First Day of Nature



The first day of Winter


On the first day of winter,
The wind blew right through me.,,


I hadn’t even raised a Christmas tree.

On the second day of winter, it suddenly struck me ;
This wasn’t about Christmas but advancement into history.


On the third day of winter, the weather brought a chill;
The substance from the day was nil.

On the fourth day of winter, my garden finally froze;
The ice cast a reflective glaze like a shroud upon my rose.

On the fifth day of winter, the ground began to freeze.
The issuing precipitation made walking Ill at ease,

On the sixth day of winter, I felt I’d had enough..,

This misery descending was just too way too tough.

On the seventh day of winter, I’d raised myself from gloom.
I’d watched my garden struggle and even a new blossom bloom.

On the 8th day of winter,  what more can be said?
Whatever’s not in the process of dying is already dead.
