AN ODE TO WINTER

AN ODE TO WINTER


O winter, the king of seasons,
Dressed in white majestic robe,
Spread over the hills and valleys,
Wherever the eyes can probe.

No wonder that you are labelled
As the king of all seasons.
That you signify the Christmas,
Is just one of the reasons.

Humans ought to learn from you the
Art of supreme sacrifice
You make way for the New Year by
Letting melt down all your ice.

Maybe it is symbolic that
After the summer of life,
Winter snow tells us finally
‘It is time to say good bye’.
