Analysis of Silver Throne

Silver Throne 2009 (TN)



A frosty breath blew through last night,
And so, came the wind and the sleet.
To decorate each bow and tree,
While we were all asleep.

Now each tree is decked,
With drops of silver light,
To take our breaths away,
At the magical sight.

Should it be true that silver fell,
To line the nature around?
To laden the grass,  
And touch up the pine,
And make each limb lean and bow?

And at the top of the great oak tree,
Rapped in his royal red robe,
Sits the cardinal red as can be,
Perched on his silver throne.

Inspiration came to me when I stepped off my porch after an ice storm. As if all was Silver.

Silver Throne

I'm only a teenager but I'm a published poet and am writing my first novel. I've been a writer/storyteller ever since I could dictate woods for my parent to write above the pictures I'd colored. Seeing a story play out in my own words gives me joy and I wouldn't give it up for anything. more…
