1. Winter (sonnet)Arilyn M<br />A winding road, blanketed in white snow:<br />Ice beneath, it has secrets to behold.<br />Scattered under, the frail ice cripples so,<br />As light snow sprinkles, no secrets are told.<br />An aluminous light white shade prevails<br />Against any shadow of the darkness.<br />The light shines even more as the sky pales, <br />Sparkling on translucent emptiness.<br />Thus the night sky, the sun rises upon,<br />Whoosh, the dawn of which the swirly wind blows, <br />Winding through the trees like its drawn, and gone.<br />The snow lights up again, a golden glow.<br />Night sky gone, a tremendous battle won.<br />Twinkling, the road remains frosty snow.<br />
