…witchery

Wisteria wallows
withering with the season
white winter willows weep
whispering a warning

winds wander on winter’s wing
weaving wordless wonder
whilst a wistful winsome moon
wishes for warmer nights

wilted leaves whirling in waves
wild windswept witchery
winding away in weightless grace
whispering in the wilderness

weeping for all that is lost
with their woeful wails
waiting out winter’s warfare
willows wait for no one

withering and wilting away
without and within
walking warily we watch
winter’s wicked wake
