Winter's Arrival

The North Wind blows

By K.B. Silver Published 11 months ago 1 min read

Drops descend in slanted

⛆ Vacillating bursts

A tease– Prickling skin

With temperature turns

Wafting patches of petrichor

Infiltrate, cleansing nostril and soul

Flurries atomize above

Sky and earth in copulation

Filtered light, shafts fall

The icy breath of a cloudburst squalls

Heralding the exodus of autumn

Pattering thupps echo

Solidifying drops grow in

Texture and volume

Subtly transitioning to

Glistening pearls •°.ೃ࿔:・₊

Bombing slow-built ant hills

Kicking up pollen-laden dust

Icy spheres diminish, and fluff

Puffy clumps of flecks cling to

Branches, moist, and shivering

Glistening greenery

Crackles and freezes

Boreas forcefully exhales ༄.°

A crystal tempest rushes in

Minutes pass, the time warp expands

Shaken in a snow globe

Glitter quickly piling up

White lines thicken, softening

Ring the chimes

⋆⁺₊❅.Winter is arriving
