Your tears strike
the frozen sleet below.
I shuffle to pick them up
because diamonds
are irrefutably too precious
to be wasted away
on such an ungrateful surface.
Lili Gudewicz Feb 2020
i hate the feeling of sleet assaulting my skin because its sting feels so much like a strike from your hands.

It happens every year
Seasons are shifting and allowing in the changes
Skies will become confused with new shapes and formations
Water will drift in and out with unique forms of moisture
Snow, sleet, hail, rain
Wonderous winter scenes will become extreme masterpieces
Skies will be purified and cleansed
Scenes to be remembered and cherished

Take time to see the changes...

Rain can be as beautiful as it can be dangerous.
While sun is warm and bright on the surface.

Hail is loud and hectic and much
As wind can be fast and hurt from its touch

Fog is mysterious
A tornado is serious

Cyclones will swirl
Hurricanes will whirl

Snow is gorgeous in all different ways...

But sleet is heavy and melted; with a sadness that stays
Maxim Keyfman Nov 2018
sleet is quiet and
quietly falls

wet sleet quiet
swimming and falling silently

wet great snow is quiet
quietly rushes and dies

day after day and night after night
again and again and light

The fall of colours
Every fallen leaf ablaze
Harvest mixed with sleet
One more freeverse to go, Autumn! ^-^
Sorry for not posting as much,
headache came back so my vision is blurring in and out of focus...
The final freeverse is on the way! ^^

In a second story room
a gas fire goes out
as a refrigerator compressor kicks on
even the middle of nowhere is noisy
The panel board walls relax as the room cools
like an asthmatic that can finally breath again
Snow and sleet pelt the
windows and deck
I write this with greasy hair
and a band t-shirt
Thank you for today
sometimes a poem
pays more than a
day of work anyway
