..
Ordained it is, and always was, the time that winter reigns
Cruel winds record it oft times, on the frosted windowpanes
Trees shiver in its passing, once their autumn cloaks are cast
October marks to one and all, that one more season’s passed
Believe in mother nature, for she knows how to create
Each season with the break it needs, time to recuperate
Refreshed, resplendent, and once more prepared to operate
...
Author notes
In the UK the clocks were put back an hour to mark the end of British sumertime and the start of Winter

Thank you for taking time to read and comment Winter can look beautiful when she carpets the land with snow But she also brings with her a bitter coldness that I can well do without
Hence the electric blanket

I'm ready for Spring

Not quite that cold here Jim but cold enough to plug in the electric blanket
Guess it will get colder before it warms up for spring
Take care

This is great. Love the rhythm and rhyming, and the fact it's an acrostic only added to the piece. One of the few acrostics I've read that did not feel forced. Best of luck in the contest with it.

This is a wonderful combination acrostic/rhyme that possesses very lively feeling and appealing language. I love the images as in the way the "autumn cloaks are cast" from the trees. The way this celebrates the wisdom of Mother Nature, who heals all things and knows when to put her shoulder to the wheel, is appreciated.
