Winter Looms
Bleak transient clouds descend in skies mournful attire, removing yesterday's fragrance of nature's gentle dance, lullabies swept away by Winters deluge of darkness, while tomorrow sleeps in Springs shadow bereft of desire. Winter has arrived but I will not see or feel its harshness or wear the seasons beauty upon my roseless cheeks as she whistles her tunes without me. I mourn not for I...

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...

Winter Blues
There's a hint of winter in the evening air as the autumn days dwindle down to a golden few but I'm looking forward to spring and all it will bring when the whole wide world is reborn anew and then with summer just around the corner to see me through I'm thinking of early mornings with you to meet the sun and how a daydream or two for now will...

Premium Member Lakeside Chill on Winter Morn
The dank cold chill stills the dawn to forlorn quietude, as the day hopes in vain for summer rays to lift eyelids awake to a warm break of day. Shorebirds huddle out of the shadows to catch the glimmer of weak light rays that trickle onto the sand flats. Syrupy waves ripple the lake's surface trying their best to make the best of the frigid situation, with the scene blanketed...

Premium Member A Seasonal Affair
A frigid spell of arctic air adorns the tranquil western scene; a stunning glimpse of fall’s affair with spring’s vivacious flower queen. When autumn’s cooling wind combines with April's warming playful breeze, a whirling tempest paints designs on grounds of winter’s icy freeze. On sculptured hills of milky snows October's tepid finger strolls, and May's...

winter of discontent
Winter of Discontent Cloudiness has settled in the sky An act of unpalatable truth of the kind A summer sun easily hides Old dwellings are full of cracks Sagging roofs and dust on the windowsill Pot-holed roads, dry as clay, lead from From doom to the gloom of routines Nothing changes; life is an endless struggle Spring is far away Then,...
