Macdell Kofi Sackey from Ghana, West Africa
In the opinion of the judges the poem had captured the mood of winter
ARRIVAL OF WINTER
Beyond the calm of the
Starry night,
Beams of moonlight,
Glittered across the firmaments
At twilight.
Cold wintry gusts
Whizzed athwart jagged
Rows of hillocks.
Shrouded in flakes
Of white,
Are blooms of
Celandine and Clematis.
Within minutes of
First droplets of snow,
Sheets of ice
Adorned marshes and creeks.
Cuckoos and Cockatoos
Chirp aloud to
Warn their kind.
Racoons and Baboons
Scuttle helter-skelter
In search of shelter.
Chamois and Chaffinches
Scamper to warmer climate
On the arrival of winter.
Macdell Kofi Sackey
