Welcome 

By Carter Cormier

What many view

as drab and gray

I prefer 

to a summers day

The misty veil’s 

whispered embrace

A tranquil kiss 

upon my face

fog enveloped

Muting sound 

a calming quietude

clouds developed

Muting light

a welcome solitude

His beams 

hidden

His glare 

subdued 

To his 

long slumber 

for 

Winter is due

Honorable mentions from Chat-gpt when asked to add onto my poem:

In this serene, elusive hue,

My spirit finds its tranquil view.

Amidst the quiet, subtle gleam,

I wander in a reverie’s dream

and 

The sun, it rests behind the shroud,

Its brilliance dimmed, its warmth avowed,

Yet in this hush, a peace descends,

As quietude upon us bends.
