Best Wintry Poems

Winter has cast its strangling hold inside and outside.
The joys I have known are gone.
Cold winds blow bleak and harsh.
The flowers in my garden have wilted and withered.
All things sweet have passed and flown away.
Flakes of snow, layer on layer, lie piled within,
And harden as...

In dark wintry night, 
Daphne's fragrance heals me of
Crickets' woeful song.

Alone I sit and watch the snow
Its sound disturbs my sleeping cat
A soft, low hum so powerful
It dampens any care or woe.
Though I love the spring flowerful
Winter’s white charms can exceed that
A picturesque countryside chat
A fire, cocoa, a grand view
Made magical when shared with you
Fine...

     "Wintry Panorama"



snowflakes twinkle as diamond baubles of Winter lace
touching treetop tresses cascading landscape with grace
pearlescent panorama decorates houses as icicles crystallize
in vibrant view a Winter blanket carpets amid glorious sunrise.

dazzling frosty windowpanes reflect a chilly atmosphere
announcing Santa's on his way...

The first day of spring arrived one week ago
Leaving winter behind like a shadow

Mornings after were filled with sunlight
Dancing daffodils and budding trees in highlight

But winter won’t give up the fight so easy
Weatherman calls for rain, it’s now freezing

As the spring rains first begin to...

December has come round at last,
Bringing with it a wintry blast
'tis the time folks gather together,
Round a yule log fire to hide the weather.

The sky all day is gun metal grey,
Storms, never far away,
Warm and cosy as I look out,
Staying in today, no doubt.

Thinking of...

It's not wintry bliss in January when lovely snow
turns into sheets of ice,
and tears run down everybody's burning eyes:
yell, " Winter, leave now! "


Unless you are a wild and playful kid,
and you like building a fat snowman
that looks very happy in the cool shade:
aren't winter...

hot tub on the deck
cold breeze strikes steaming water~
In the mist, souls waltz

gloomy day rainbow
quiet brook below your steps~
weepy willow trees

maybe the next day
the breeze will blow in my back~
so charming and swell

thunder and lightning
the rain comes down with fierce fists~
roof being blasted

Cold air whistles acquainting
me with Arctic Blast, when
roundly forcing acquiescing
into half foursquare corner, activating
most recent spate of

     ideal linkedin warm weather
ah...,my favorite sweet
     spot for read ding
partially secluded from
     gossip mongers addicting

fellow nosy...

Life lost in saline streams
Straining to see
Possibilities in reams and streams
Crane to love me

Although I desire nothing unproven
In the world I grapple to save
From madness and sadness woven
In webs only the brave

Dare to challenge
In the open where nerves
Bent on revenge
Achieve rubbish that serves

No useful purposes
In...

Ivory snow covers
The desolate castle
She inhabits
Where the stillness
Screams & screams
And she feels the fright
Of silence 
And she loathes herself
For her vulnerability...

Winter’s silent soul
Kisses away the darkness
With trembling flakes, snow feathers
Cardinals whisper
Blessing the breathless prayers
From hearts who feel love’s inklings

Soundless as snowdrifts
On the edge of a shadow
Caressing the mountains, the stars
Imaginations 
Lift the spirits with lights,
Dazzling rays of hopeful fires

Burning away nights
Hues of laughter, kindness sighs
Erasing...

I love the month of February,
The coldest month of the season,
For an array of personal reasons.
And yet, it feels like she is the longest,
For the events that happen haphazardly,
Amid treacherous winter storm blasts.
Quasi everything is frozen near the nest
Of the American bald eagles,
Except the Mardi...
