Thaw Poems - Poems about Thaw

I have a heart too warm for a body of snow. My torso went out first— The buttons before my chest dropped into the soil. One by one, they stripped me tenderly. —I feel exposed. My limbs were the next to leave— Technically I only had arms that once traced words in frost. The damp branches—they landed right beside me. I couldn’t reach them, of...

A late March thundershower floats toward me Like a plucked flower Handed over on a walk to a lover With a smile Down this afternoon path That breezes past Spring-born ponds Erupting Of Peepers ululating and Chorus Frogs ratcheting In a wave of Gnawa music. The surface Puckers Diacritic raindrops Slowly Softly Each plop and their purple ripple Has not enough splash To generate an echo From the reedy shore. The storm not so...

Towards the thaw As the days of spring are here, I should be happy having made it through the winter. The April breeze brings regret, remembering what had been pushed aside, no, I was no mother’s favorite son Recalling every detail, overthinking every word said, reacting with angry silence as a defense to hurts...

Winter far you chased me from your presence. You know, when frozen, my blood fails to thaw, So this your cold smile is for what essence? Winter far you chased me from your presence. Don't you know your stares rob me of pleasance? To each of your knocks my heart gazed in awe. Winter far you chased me from your presence. You...

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 rocks with worms of fear inching their way, To eat away...

Grass stalks rise upward. to a head of fading gold Their wings were fully spread. a cerulean cape, The morning smoke blows. The willow tree was still drenched. with lengthy icicles akin Cat's whiskers Daffodil drums sing an ode. a parade in the clearing dew on strewn gossamer akin a wedding veil Dawn weeps crimson tears. and I'm just a whim to embrace the richness of the dawn as fresh...

January Thaw In the thrall of January’s dismal weather (Comprising snowstorms and freezing temperatures) While staring out the window from the interior, I endeavour to regather my composure By testing myself with a blithe question, I think keen, “Isn’t this the coldest January you’ve ever seen?” And wryly smile to myself with a whimpered answer, “I think that the coldest January I recall, From...

Early Earth thaw First gasp of breath Heaves its snow chest Like a blanket pulled back Arches its cadaverous humps A surfacing serpent Along the street curbs Slithers to the drains Snakes away through the pipes Spills over the dams Swims in the rivers Toils to seas Butterflies as rain Tombstone wave Ten thousand miles away Taps the cedar of a clipper ship Once a snowflake In this winter land Marking a grave In...
