winter is here.
the snow is falling
and the trees are bare and defeated
no sun,just gloom
all is white and cold.

stray cats slosh in the mush
flowers trapped under the
solid earth.
colors forgotten,people are dejected

the rain comes,it thunders down
melts away the cold ,the silence
sprouts of green peek out from brown mud
trees awaken, vibrant and confident

the big golden sun elongates his fiery arms
warming the world,all is alive
birds ecstatic,the warmth so refreshing
grass wakes up, stretching towards the sky.
its spring again.

This was a homework assignment my class had to do using our choice of diction to create a subtle transition in the mood of the poem. Mine is obviously about winter turning to spring and i hope people will like the way it is written.
