Winter’s chill seeks to pervade
As sharply as a burnished blade
Biting deeply into wearied bone
Eliciting many a anguished moan
Unrelenting in its determined grip
From its grasp, a yearning to slip
Seeking refuge before a hearty blaze
Sensation returns, as travelers laze
Shaking off the evening’s cold
Happily ensconced in a halo of gold
Oh Mary!
ReplyDeleteWhat an imagine on such a warm summers day! You captured the essence of a winters day in New England! Im not ready for the cold!!
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteGreat poem... very detailed and incredibly descriptive. Like Amy mentioned, that was quite the poem to read on a really hot summer's day! The last line is my favorite. You described the comfort of a warm fire on a cold day perfectly. This would also be a great piece to use for your Writer's Workshop blog. You could do a contrast poem as well about the summer warmth. Great job!
Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I really like writing about nature so I particularly enjoyed writing these two poems. I am working on one for spring and will be posting it soon. :)
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteI am jealous by your wonderful writing ability. You're poems are great and like Kelly and Amy said, VERY descriptive. Keep up the good work!
