: Conquering Everest by michaelcahill
Personification of Winter writing prompt entry


 
Everest
 
majestic
 
how noble the little ones
braving danger
enduring elements
 
I tickle them with dainty flakes
as they climb
towards the summit
 
I send
a slight breeze refreshing
the conquering adventurers
confidence oozes like the slush
'neath the arctic sea
but the ice cap can be thick,
hearty wanderers,
and I can make it thicker
at my whim
 
but there … there is the summit
renew your vigor and climb
what is a fluffy cloud in the distance
against the boisterous bravery
of the brigade of braggarts?
 
with a flick of my icy fingertip
I cast the mountaintop down
upon you all
 
conquer me, Winter?
 
only on my tender days
when I seek amusement …
 

 


Writing Prompt
Using any form of poetry, with or without rhyming, write about Winter using the technique of personification (as if this season were a person).
