Best Wintertime Poems

Set to the tune of 'Edelweiss'  from The Sound of Music

Wintertime, wintertime
Evergreens don festive wardrobes

Ivory
Christmas Eves
Swirl in peppermint snowglobes

Magical mirrors of lakes to skate
Taste snowflakes
On our tongues

Wintertime, wintertime
Keep my heart warm
Til spring comes.

Where is the butterfly
and where does it go in the wintertime
Fly away, flies the butterfly
As the snowflakes come falling down
Do the crystal white drops of dew
Fall, frighten and freeze you
Come true, come here be near
my ladybug arthropod
my dragonfly
as a kiss as in nervousness, a lady
trepidation...

~Wintertime~ 
(Diamante) 


Wintertime 
Falling, freezing, storming 
Frozen, snow 
Cold, white, Birth, green 
Renewing, growing, arising 
Sun, warm 
Springtime

Jack Frost is lurking; he’s nipping my nose
feather like snowflakes will soon start to fall
I stamp my feet - I can now feel my toes
winter will wrap her cloak around us all.

Soon I snuggle by the warming log fire,
outside the garden’s turning snowy white.
I watch...

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...

Watching the white flakes blow by as I gingerly step out to the glorious city.
Each time I take a step and hear a crunch, a new thought appears.
The trees sparkle with newborn lights.
The park is filled with parents and children gazing up at the sky.

Wintertime




A seasonal shift most wished-for
Wind chill factor drops below zero
Flakes begin to plunge over icy lakes’
Snowbirds angered by the blizzard,
Frostbitten icicles dangle from the leafless trees
Gold and silver jingle bells glide in the wintry snow
Slushy snow powdery the slippery roads
Hot cocoa heat beloved shivering bodies
The...

The sun sets the sky on fire, one of those wonderful moments, the Mediterranean Sea aflame, moments that take your breath away. Winter in Cyprus can be awesome, with the short blasts of rain. The parched earth gives up it hidden fruits again, the green...

March ushering in springtime

What a wonderful time of year, families getting together, little children getting ready for santa and his reindeer. Snow falling on the ground, so peaceful not a sound. The moon shining on the fresh snow looking so magical....

In winter’s peaceful reverie, enchanting snowfall reigns
with dizzy, wistful flurries that flow so lightly down
they settle softly o’er the treetops and the winding lanes
while children sled around and distant church bells sound 
across the wavy hillsides and blanketed white ground. 

And in the air, aromas...

her rose is in the snow
as it minqled with a wintery glow
she was forever chanqed
but the rose still must find a forever

becomes restless
in a dream of rosy red streams

as if soft thunders sanq dyinq llyabyes
she is forever chanqed

Days are short and nights are long,
We no longer sing the summer song.
As the nights draw in, log fires burning,,
Going out at night has lost it's yearning.
At home we can enjoy our meal,
Cooked in love, it has its appeal.
Both now sated, a glass of wine,
In...

Ghost Gloomy Wintertime Shadow Mountain - A Haiku

gloomy wintertime
A poor, terrible ghost stalks
at the old shadows

wintertime dweller
speaking, terrible ghost talks
watching the shadows

as yon snow flakes falls
shadows of whiten mound banks
gloomy wintertime
