A Fitful Veil
written by: Daniel Moreschi
A wanton wave of pallid hail descends
from ashen skies. Its drifts are carried through
to every nook and peak by lofty winds;
abundant, jutted, powdered sheets imbue
terrains in bright white hues, as structured flakes
display arrays of lustrous reveries.
This frigid reign persists. A frozen lake
reflects a fervid glare, as if to tease
a place where sheens and gleams can shine as one.
But blankets bearing flame-lit crystals spell
their end; their flimsy layers come undone,
as landscapes well in scintillating swells.
A realm left bare, with gifted streaks of gold,
is lesser for the loss of winter’s hold.
Daniel Moreschi, a poet from Neath, South Wales, UK, experienced a significant turning point when his ongoing battle with severe M.E. upended his life. However, during this period, he also rediscovered his passion for poetry, which had remained dormant since his teenage years. Writing became a means of distraction from his struggles. Daniel has been acclaimed by many poetry competitions. His poetry has been published by Society of Classical Poets, Black Cat Poetry Press, and The Lyric. Additionally, he has been nominated for both Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize.
