Greener Days

The yellow sunshine does not live here.
The rainy clouds are friends.
trudging through layers of sludge-
We -.-soldier-.- on through the storms.
We shiver and cry ourselves to the bone.
In a sky full of stars we\
/drown-
The night filled with the howls of wolves
As they descend upon the brave.
Our walls are built thick enough-
Though the cold tries hard to take souls.
Hurricane is the way of the day's mood switch.
I wish for the days of lavender air
And greener grasses.
When the daisies and mums consumed.
Lilacs are
dead in the ground.
Today I
fall underneath the late dark
And count blessings
the sky is devoid of white powder.
Ice will coat these streets soon.

I hope you are enjoying being here

Powerful literary devices adopted in this poem. Heavy imagery and personifications seem to be the hall mark of this verse. Without poetic devices, poetry would lost its taste.

But here, this verse is potent, it carries whatever you need to fit a poem.

Well written verse. It full of energy and creativity.

"By virtue of creativity, my literary genre is poetry".

Abby. I enjoyed many of the lines you have in this piece. The title is like a beacon. The first stanza is my favourite and the first line stands out the most, followed by these two lines:

"all underneath the late dark
And count blessings"

Keep writing.

Thomas
