Margherita Russo Poet Free verse

My Winter

Winter, a sad season, cold, foggy,
but it makes you think.

It makes you think of the past,
the present, the furture.

The best moment to think.....
is during the winter and when
you see that light out of the window.

It's the sun.....
a ray of hope.

That brings more questions
then a mind could answer.

Connie Marcum Wong November 5, 2014 at 1:38 AM Winter is a gift, giving time for contemplation, time for thoughts to form poetry. Your last two lines make this poem great poetry for thought! Well done!

Mario De Paz May 18, 2013 at 7:57 AM Margherita, i tuoi poemi sono molto belli, ma ho visto che non ne scrivi più da tempo. Perché? Anche in questo c'è un piccolo errore "furture" invece di "future". Puoi correggerlo rieditando la poesia. Ciao, Mario

Robert Johnson March 7, 2013 at 5:04 PM "Thinking is the best way to travel." That's a moody blues lyric. The way you write makes me think you might like them. They're my favorite band. I can see you sitting there in the window looking far off into the future. Await more to come from you. Have a wonderful season. :)

Isaiah Zerbst January 30, 2013 at 11:01 AM Glad to oblige. I liked the underlying message of cheer and hope. Keep up the work. There is a catalougue of forms here on the soup that you can use to try different ones. I think it is a fun challenge.

Sharon Smith January 30, 2013 at 10:10 AM Very true. For some reason winter does make you stop and reflect. Maybe it's the people missing from the table at Christmas? Or perhaps its the prospect of a brand new year that some find daunting? Either way you've captured the spirit of the season very well. Keep writing!

Debbie Duncan January 30, 2013 at 10:01 AM Well this is very nice write,,, I remember when I was 14 and writing poems. very well done. One of my grandmothers name was Margeret ,, keep writing ;} going to favorites .

Richard Lamoureux January 30, 2013 at 9:37 AM I was surprised to learn you are 14, very mature writing for someone so young. Well done.
