Winter In Summer Poem by Alison Smith

Winter In Summer

Rating: 4.8


Hear the thunder echoing about
A sky with a green hue
The sign of hail on the way
Lighting giving a great show
Like a fireworks display.

And in the morning
Where once the plants
Were dying from the heat
Now covered with a blanket of white.
Which many have never seen.

During the night
While most slept
Winter had stolen the Summer
And left a winter scene.

Nearly forget the devastation
With such a wonderous scene
The day in Summer
When the land down under
Woke to a Winter scene.

(* Feb 28th.... Canberra Australia's capital... was turned into winter *)

Very nice imagery used here, Alison. I like the line, 'Winter had stole the Summer and left a Winter scene.' Nice. L

Love this Alison, I think global warming is doing some very strange things. We had hailstones in August once, such a bizarre sight when you've been sitting enjoying the sunshine! HG: -) xx
