Best Winters Poems

The staticky-stars climax under intense blanket of Winter glow.
Your spouse can’t see your spirited green eyes that burn slow.

The friction of campfire sticks, the satiny slipperiness of moon.
Flames of blue, orange and red won’t be overcome too soon.

Pert rose petals, that once were goosebumpy and...

The many winters I had seen
When  once I was a teen
Gathered inside our small living room
Joy and simplicity our faces illume
Warm with laughter at striking stories
Light is the heart and empty of worries
My sisters and sole brother
The treasure of my father and my mother
Mum,...

Against the velvet canvas of night the downy snow falls all around me. 
Silence deafening,falling upon my ears in this winter wonderland I see. 

The chill of winters breath places it's kiss upon rose petal skin so light. 
Whilst I stand 'neath tiny flakes and...

Hereabouts the thinning glades
Of sparse grey Birches:
Brackens crisp copper tresses 
All aglow;
Gently waking Snowdrops
Lift their sleepy heads
From leafy beds of woodland moil,
When tucked snugly up,
Out of intrusive sight and just 
Below.

Fondly the slowing bend
Hugs upon the river...
Banked heavily with frosted 
Bulrushes
That shifting breezes once did...

while winter weeks warmth 
wondrous weeping willows wilt 
wrens whistle wildly 

spring season soon starts 
sunflower seeds sprout slowly 
sparrows sing softly

JED.

Jed the horse thief was a bit of a dope
Stole a pretty horse and tried to elope
Folk declared him a horse thief
And for giving them much grief
They dangled him at the end of a rope...

Winters magical mix,

It gives life a time to reflect on an unclothed transparency seer.

Winter is the time to tame life with little heat and almost no light.
This is nature’s pause as the curtain of life begins to close tight.

Winter's loneliness allows for the gathering to touch a...

The winter of my love is here,

her cheek's glisten, in smile's and tear.

    Cold wind's blow, her love to me,

I feel her breeze, her breath i see.

    Her close touch, that keeps me warm,

her soft voice, from lips conform.

There is no thing so peaceful
As a winters night in the woods--
A canopy as black as pitch, 
Spangled with the pinpricks of a billion stars--
Shimmering.
The banks of snow and downy flake,
Turned to diamonds by the moonlight
That drapes the sparkling,
Rolling hills with a shawl of powder...

Throughout the winter it's like I'm gone 
Watching you from far beyond 
Seeing you through the trees 
Something sounds like honey bees 
Watching you from far beyond 
Wishing that I was not gone 
Lovely roses round your head
Trees that shine green and red 
Winters gone...

“Transformation of winter into spring shares hopeful hearts” by Poet

Winter’s Transformation

Bird songs reverberate from tree to tree
songs that elate when they reach the ears.
Spring is almost here and the birds are in tune.
Wistful dreams of warmth and tulips abound.
The willow weaves her magic with breezes...

Tribute to our limerick humorist, Tom Cunningham.
This poem written as response to his poem: WINTER’S END HUMOR

DEFAMATION OF CHARACTERS AT WINTER’S END

This Tom is a son of a gun, “Oh shoot!”
Exclamation blunt as this poet coot
Defames one more fellow,
With ink makes him bellow.
Another slipknot, “Oh...

The day pales, kept alive only by the radiance of the snow
Fading rays cascade across the pristine fields
Casting shades of pink and blue in final tribute to the day
Barren trees, ice coated, catch and reflect the pastel hues
Their shadows reaching out in search of evening...
