Winter

Winter


Winter, devastation after the fall,
Imposition of Arctic Law
Naked landscapes, souls bared,
Trembling in terrored torture
Enshackled in ice crystal chains.
Remorseless warmth awaiting rescue.

Charlotte Puddifoot Date: 10/11/2014 5:28:00 PM I really liked this one from the first time I read it, and I couldn't quite decide whether to give it a 2nd or 3rd...I received many winter poems but few of them portrayed the harsher side of the season, so this was unique in that way; I liked the alliteration you used as well - congrats on your win in my contest Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/30/2014 6:53:00 PM Also wanted to say how clever the symbolism of this one was. Login to Reply
