Notes About The Poem

Wintertime

Wintertime, and the snow is now falling.
Trees are bare, and the wind blows through them
Holes in the cabin, and we feel like its freezing.
Dad must bring some good warmth to all of us.

Drag in some thick logs, and the fireplace is ready.
Then, we’ll surely find plenty warm woollen clothes.
Look, sweet child, the lake is all thick and icy.
Let's go skating and we'll enjoy all this day.


(NB  Whether I succeeded or not I leave this to your judgement.  I tried to write a poem on wintertime using the famous song Summertime.  I apologized if I failed.)

Good Afternoon Victor - Dads always come to the rescue. This is lovely with a great description of the moment and time of winter. I found your first stanza to be truly poetic with expression. Thank you as always for sharing. Have a wonderful day.

Hi Victor, You didn't fail; you penned some good lyrics. I had to go listen to Summertime again, and I concluded that your efforts worked well, my friend. Well done;-) Alexis

You'll find it in Porgy and Bess by Gershwin. I will upload the song I think.
