Winter Poems

Wealth of Spring

Assorted spring flowers, naked, rise in morning sun
Breaking through a thin blanket of snow, earth spun.
Cascades of dainty Narcissus smile with golden faces
Drinking up the sun as morning warmth embraces.
Enjoy the heavenly floral scent that gardens bring.
Fledglings high...Read More

A feathered clutch once bewailed –
What can a sparrow do
in a sky full of raptors?
The red-necked puckers’ won’t arrive
until blood smells like copper pennies.

She was only one winter old,
cried a fuss-bucket booby.
Begone crone.
 croaked a plumed strutter.
A fish needs a...Read More

It is that time of the year 
When everybody comes out of their fears 
Every Soul is enjoying this phase 
For weather is too good these days
After the freezing winters
That sucked last drop of blood from every Splinter

The carcass of beauty spent and done
picked clean by scavengers of time,
whose sated memories of summer
ask for no quarter and offer none.

Winter winds tango with scattered leaves
in tune with a different drummer,
spinning fragments of color and light
into chromatic threads, Autumn...Read More

The Droughtless - heavily floats
past my window, obscuring all
but the foghorn tweets of wings.

Contrast the sweet songbirds,
sky-blue and linguistic-red,
with doldrum skies non-speak.

O angel-child’s cherubic cheeks -
vocalist mouth riveting
as a full moon; starless night.

Zoom in; warm colors of harbor -
teal, vanilla...Read More

You will receive a reward for your deception, 
You will always be loved by me. 
You don't need to Serenade me anymore. 
I know you've stopped loving me. 

You were chosen for your purity, 
For sincerity and tenderness of feelings....Read More

Spring,
flowers bloom, 
they smell so sweet,
so many beautiful colors.

Summer,
the boiling sun
warms my body, and
tickle my toes. swimming
and licking popsicles,
to cool us off.

Fall,
autumn leaves turn
colors to red, yellow, and 
golden brown, they
like to twirl in the 
howling wind. 

Winter,
Icy air, gray...Read More

I wish I had been born in the days of
	unicorns and dragons,
	witches and ogres,
	goddesses and gods.

Before all the travel of the world
leaving no sites un-plundered.
         Before cellphones,

I pricked my ears to follow the sound,
As did my son and our puppy hound,
delight of violin in full tune,
Played to setting sun and rising moon!

Winter evening was well underway,
Christmas carol singers in full sway,
Violin was playing the church psalms,
And...Read More

Canada Jays

Four seasons ’round Canada jays are found,
Perched in tree branches safe and sound;
Resting after flying throughout the North,
In the Canadian boreal forests.
Heard and not seen unless it’s their intention,
To disturb the silence, making known their presence
By confronting intruders in...Read More

A look at the world through children's eyes
Opens a bright new scene
Some things that reach a boiling point
Turn out to be nothing but steam!

Kids have a way of looking at things
We can learn from these little guys
Don't ever take life...Read More

So long, Marlene, we mean to say, we'll miss you when you go
The thought of you will cheer us through this tide of chill and snow
Through winter storm stay snug and warm beside the fire's glow
May you abide the growing...Read More

It is weekend you do not have work
a time to sleep more in winter 
Even birds do sleep extra 
Lovely to see sun rise 
So to see sun set
in between both
a deep sleep
one meal

Winter
by Michael R. Burch
 
The rose of love's bright promise
lies torn by her own thorn;
her scent was sweet
but at her feet
the pallid aphids mourn.
 
The lilac of devotion
has felt the winter hoar
and shed her dress;
companionless,
she shivers, nude and sore.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen you
Even longer since I felt your voice
Whispering in my ear.
I miss the way you made me feel
Whenever you touched me.
Your kisses were so soft
Like down feather pillows.
Your hugs embraced me
Like a winter comforter.

Eight degrees currently
I am not concerned
feeding on my sausage corndog
wrapped in syrupy pancake batter
enjoying the warmth of my house
in no hurry to face the bitter winter day
probably a zillion calories in each nibble
do not care in the least
love this marvelous...Read More

snowflakes sparkle bright
like diamonds in the sun~
a priceless beauty...Read More

diamond-like
sunlight sparkles
on virgin snow
fresh air tingles
rosy cheeks...
you see your breath
lips shaping
smoke rings...
sniffles clink-clink
like crushed ice
from a paper cup
as they strike the ground ~
ooh! you can't feel
your fingers or toes...Read More

Tribute

Bright star, ascendant,
Now too quickly gone,
Light becoming -
Bright as transparent rainbow colors
Made of sun and storm
Lingering on the sky 
With not one color unseen,
Full spectrum complete
Of joys, of tears, of hope -
Abiding memory
Of child becoming one
With woman
In endless summer days
Winter...Read More

I walk the garden run
   in the icy chill of winter sun,
 where flowers once bloomed in their colorful glow
   but now sleep silently beneath the snow;
clear and ever on the move alone

throwing balls of snow and ice
ageless snowball fight

hey pete
by Michael R. Burch
 
hey pete,
it's baseball season
and the sun ascends the sky,
encouraging a schoolboy's dreams
of winter whizzing by;
go out, go out and catch it,
put it in a jar,
set it on a shelf
and then you'll be a Superstar.
