The Death of Winter

Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)



The Death of Winter

With a howling gasp, winter blew another breath;
To stave off its inevitable death.
The cold winds and frosty chill
Cast a pallid frost on the land untill.

Slowly, surely come will the spring.
A renewed life with it will bring.
The death of winter, for so long so cold;
Has been foretold so wrong.
One more gasp of snow to bring,
A pallid blanket untill the spring.

Who mourns old man winter,
Who mourns the loss of cold?
Who mourns the bitter,
Who dares walk in its shadow?
Who could be so bold?

Spring dances up to the task;
Takes the mantle from winters grasp.
Spring shows the promise of a brand new day,
treating the weather a different way.
