Inspired by Thoreau’s “A Winter and Spring Scene.” Thought this style looked real easy to write. There’s even a reference to HDT in it.
Birches are bowed;
North winds do blow;
Snowdrifts do grow,
In purest Thoreau.
Bodies are chilled;
Hares do mill;
Ice sheets a-build,
O’er gasping rills.
Pond scum is froze;
Flowers do fold; lo,
The ferret knows,
Progress is slowed.
Industry is dulled;
Solitude is mulled;
Hibernations are lulled,
By spirits above,
Who evenly yield,
A quiet so real,
O’er the fields,
To peacefully heal.
