Winters Long Nights II

by Jad   Nov 3, 2010


Struggling against all odds,
withered branches sway
embracing the rapture
Nature bestows all around.

Plants decay and rot away
frozen in time while
layers of white cover
remnants of their remains.

The sky finally cries,
releasing pure memories
obtain from billowing seas
captured from those perished.

Now enchanting moments
encompass the forest,
pausing the still beauty of
winters long nights.

    Interesting to see a continuation of this 'series'. I thought you did just as well as the first part. I liked how you switched it up and instead of the wolf crying, it is now the sky. Although it was not the strongest metaphor, I liked the idea as it was different from the first part. Nice job..

    Remnants of their remains somehow sounds off, like you said the same thing twice.

    obtain, should be obtained

    Other than this it was a beautiful poem, Austin! Like I was flying above a winter landscape:)

    Well done,
