Winter Gloom

The winter is here again; it seems a little too soon don’t you think

The autumn leaves still carpet the landscape of the busy metropolis

They form a vast golden red rug spread across the plains and the streets

But the feeling of winter dominates the helpless atmosphere

The birds are chirping but no longer sing a joyful melodious song

It’s the winter that’s taken their zest away

They roost for a time like this or migrate to some other sunny land

Is that too difficult for one to understand,

No not in the least for the gloom of winter is at hand

The biting cold, the frosty air, the chilly breeze rudely greet the face

Heralding the gloom of winter and its cruel embrace

Thankfully winter' "cruel embrace" only lasts a few months... and we are survivors. Nice poem, Immanuela.

nice wording of your phrases, Immanuella. Your description is clear and the picture you draw is gloom and misery over the wintry weather. I like the phrase "cruel embrae", a kind of hug that we do not return.
