Winter doesn t want to retreat

WINTER DOESN'T WANT TO RETREAT
 

Winter doesn't want to retreat
She still strews snow deceitfully
Middling, with a dash of selfishness
Cold wind blows, relentlessly.

Snowflakes fall, melting at once
It's as if the nature faded....
Spring colours vanished; disregarding all
Winter spreads dirty salve under our feet.

Yesterday the sun was glimmering
And birds were chirping merrily.
My eyes were twinkling with glee
Looking behind the window happily.

First buds coated the trees
With a fresh pattern so green
Maybe spring was rushing here
Eager to be free from a secret retreat.

Now it's cold and damply again
Spring got a poke and went away
Behind my window twigs went grey...
Winter is here, again.
