Celtic Winter : Seasonal Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

Back there in Celtic times  dodo birds and lizards ,
had to find some food regardless of the blizzards .
As the warriors rode horses in the snowdrift,
they cantered carefully in case the ground would shift .
In Celtic times witches never flew on broomsticks ,
Celtic winters would always  spoil  their magic tricks .
Wizards lost their pointed hats in the Celtic wind .
and mostly needles broke on spinning wheels that spined .
Back in the Celtic winters when times where so dark ,
the butterflies slept and the sky swallowed the lark .
Rivers flowed to the sea and fish refused to bite ,
when winter was cold and the snow fell day and night .
In Celtic times when it was minus ten below.
Animal skins warmed bodies that lay in the snow
Everywhere the cold wind blew a chilling sound.
As footprints where imprinted in the snowy ground .
Winter keeping company with a moan and groan .
Everybody sits frozen down to the bone .
