cold clouds mock
foliage-stripped trees
defiant
branches sway
powered by cycles – spring is
around the corner

It’s cold here in Michigan, so I look forward to the spring you talk about in your poem, Reena. I love the defiant turn in line three!

Enjoyed your words… defiant surely. But I think the seasons know to wait their turn to teach us something. I love this. Thanks.

Well done, Reena! In a second reading I wonder if I detect a little sarcasm or irony–spring is around the corner, not quite! Is it me or the poem?! I don’t know!
