Timmy's Journal - 26. Poetry Prompt 8 - Quatrains
Poetry Prompt 8
The prompt: write two Quatrains. One inspired by the sights of spring around you right now (or autumn, if you are below the Equator). And a second one telling us how you feel inside about it. It can be happy or sad, or indifferent – it's all up to you! Keep the Quatrains to four lines, rhyming a-b-a-b, and 10 syllables per line. Don't get frustrated, just have fun with it.
Well it’s winter now so … I wrote them about Winter..
Winter
A wicked north wind frosts tender skin, white
Coats are pulled close, and scarves mask grim faces
Snow entombs trees, and we wait for respite
Temperatures climb, Spring brings her graces
Soon Over
I hate the snow, winter’s gray is a drag.
Warmer climes call me, though inside I hide
It melts and refreezes, ice looks like slag
Spring won’t be long, until then I’ll just bide
