I wrote this poem last weekend after the weather went from an unusual balmy afternoon to a wind storm that brought the January cold back to the forefront. My goal was to try to "humanize" the changes.
Winter Sirens
Hypnotic Sirens of sunny complacency
Luminaries of lullabies
Basking in soft jazzy tinges of afternoon light
Luring, alluring desirous tease
Sounds of robin's sweet delight
Down-turned gazing of bashful flirtations
Singing of spring, welcoming hope
Offering surety of thought.
Open arms, providing solace
Siren's demure invitation
Saxophone melodies, whispering sweet refuge
From shivering wintry blight.
Light dims, darkness invades
Fickle façade of allure fades
Reflecting light of doubt
Shoring winds of self-distrust shout.
Shifting gusts of harking wails
Luminary high-pitched Siren's true tales
Enveloping recesses, force of gales
Tucking into unprotected creviced secrets
Cold, biting wind of change
Slapping wall shadows, marking territory
Outstretched, distorted, forcing attention
Dark night howls of apprehension.
