Frost Filgrees for M lady Helena

Sonnet

 

 

Frost Filigrees

 

The first frost paints the window panes

with filigrees of silver white

The artist takes the greatest pains

 to ensure that he gets it right.

Though very sad it’s also true.

His artistry is all in vain,

it only lasts an hour or two

before the glass is clear again.

 We can enjoy it for a while.

That is what we’re meant to do.

Tomorrow in his usual style

he will have painted it anew.

A different pattern put on show

 created there on my window.
