Haunted In ITQ

Tree boughs scope me by window glass,
As the long night without stars pass
The moon out like dead rock— the last
Time dark mornings will be so vast.

Around my boughs, raining's ghost wane,  
Falling by frost and Winter drape
On each neck of shaked off leaves' fade—
A gone beauty's heat, spent in pain.

White bough's gloom in the swaying trees
For springtime's parched-for reveries—
On fogged glass, it reflects with me
The old, old, January bleak.

From the window, my breathlessness
For boughs straining in rainy gust.

Good thing I don't predict the weather. Here in Malta, it is sunny but cold. Will February take its revenge?

Both you and I wrote of January bleakness, it seems. Mine is called “Shake Off the Wolf.” Warm hugs ~ Kim

Oh, beautiful Paige, this is such a heartfelt & evocative write that reflects emotional turmoil and coldness in such a poetically appealing way.. Your wordplay is absolutely bewitching and compels the heart to feel the emotions that you've so intricately woven here! "The moon out like dead rock", "As the long night without stars pass" So evocative and deep, your words convey a lot.. There's a darkness that drifts along these lines and wishes to echo in a soul-stirring essence..Loved reading this

Dear paige, your way with weaving words is as always so impressive and would leave any reader in awe to grasp little details of the descriptive lines you’ve articulated in such eloquence. I absolutely love the flow of this and especially how youv written “ As the long night without stars pass The moon out like dead rock— the last Time dark mornings will be so vast.“ deep! And beautiful! Pleasure reading your work always. Sending you light

Dear Paige, what a hauntingly beautiful poem. The vivid imagery of tree boughs, the moon like dead rock, and the atmosphere of dark mornings creates a ethereal scene. The portrayal of raining's ghost wane and the spent beauty's heat adds layers of emotion. Your poetic artistic expression is powerful, evoking a sense of breathlessness and empathy for the swaying trees. Truly a mesmerizing piece that skillfully paints the emotions of the season. - Blessings, Daniel
