The Crestfallen Shroud Poem by Patrick Czyz

The Crestfallen Shroud



Roaming throughout the void sky
With a cold crown above a frigid face,
It stares at life with icy eyes.
Rage. Cold rage.
Descending down green, vivid mountain slopes.
Scraping off summer stained joy.
Screeching the snow fallen curse.
Making all crestfallen.
Oh, there is no escape from
Those long, frosted arms and cold hands.
They will pull that pale white shroud
Upon every green, vivid mountain.
