    There is beauty in your words, healing words, very personal and I like the format
    -Perhaps-
    it is strange now how cold can cancel cold too warm feelings and seasons
    bring back memories
    -Yet again-
    I love the raw beauty of December disguising Deaths
    -Symbolic-
    nature, likened to Rebirth
    -Sinful-
    words are they...
    Springtime bliss! She has loathed
    everything related
    -She longs-
    for Winter's kiss

    I have the deepest admiration for this heartfelt Poem. For within, a little peak at Peace. And Blessings.

    Well done. As I read this, it brought to mind a friend and it is as if you wrote this especially for her.

    Wonderful job, Kay. Your words have left me quite speechless. Beautiful comfort to all who live within the seasons of change and heartache. True, how they tend to reach within the depths of our soul and pull at our very heart. You have brought a feeling of calm with this.... loved the ending stanza...

    -She longs-

    longs for Winter's kiss,
    When snow shall mask
    her saddest memory.

    Wonderful, just wonderful....

    How would it be to forever be stuck in rewind, I often wonder about that question..to not be able to move on at all. You worded that question very eloquently, Kay. A sad poem, very insightful too. Made me remember a story I heard long ago.

    Well done, very well done

    -She longs-

    longs for Winter's kiss,
    When snow shall mask
    her saddest memory.

    ^^
    Favorite part, very poetic wording.

    5/5 Ingrid

Another thing that really got my attention was how you had a header for each individual part of you poem. A truly amazing write. great job and keep writing.

    I'm not really much of a fan of incorporating the seasons into poems anymore - it seems so overdone. However, in poems such as yours you know how to make it work and make it your own so it doesn't seem like 'just another one of those poems'. After reading Rob's comment, there is indeed a hidden meaning behind the poem and this poem is written for a particular someone. I thought the emotion you tied in with your words & reference to the seasons was absolutely stunning. I really loved this write, it's something I know I could read over and over again without getting tired of it. The hidden meaning in the poem makes me appreciate it even more...it makes all that more sense. Awesome job with this!

    A true gem of a peom.

    the raw beauty of December
    when Mother Nature
    has stripped away
    her coats and coverings
    in celebration of freedom.

    this was my favourite stanza. I have never made the connection of winter stripping away evrything to freedom, its a wonderful comparison.

    Your separated words, between some stanzas, seem to me to be a gentle background chorus, actually musical, giving leadership to and indication of, the next thoughtful feeling...
    ...a lovely and effective device
    well-used here in the service
    of conveying your intended depth...

    Symbolic sprang to mind when I was reading this poem perhaps because I am at that age when I am in the winter of my life.
    Though this poem did not make me feel cold though as you get older the to many people that you have love depart you.
    Like Twisted and Ingid the last verse does ring true

    longs for Winter's kiss,
    When snow shall mask
    her saddest memory

    An excellent poem 5/5 RayS

    Within our rememberance of humman time, these two season are the oposing roles in wich you have shown us here. we normally see spring has a time for joy and play, not pain and longing, and winter is usaully very somber and quiet. I absolutly love this poem, its beautiful. You are an amazing poet, and you show your best in work like this. Keep up the poetry, keep up the good work
