The Season of Fear

The Sun used to shine

upon the people of spring

The streets were once void

of filth

The ground had been spat on,

leaving traces of poison

The people grew restless

in the cold of day

Grey infiltrated

turning color into shade

Flowers died prematurely

blackening the streets

The Birds never returned

forcing the people to hunt

their own kind

Spring never came

and the people suffered.

This sounds like it should be turned into some sort of allegory, or be the prelude for a Greek tragedy :)

You have some really beautiful images in this and I feel like you could take it further and expand to get a real story out of it.
