A Frozen Summer (metaphorical)

by BECCA lessTHANthree   Feb 25, 2007


Summer sleeps, when winter wakes
In warmth it's numb from cold
The chill may hit the heat of waves
But ice will never show

Unless eyes look beyond the snow
In the distance, hail can be seem
Rushing down on summers waves
Winters silence kills the scream

Summers heat and forceful rays
Try so hard to melt the ice
But beating down, day after day
Is tiering and won't suffice

And every summer, it gets colder
Just so much harder to melt the snow
Soon only winter will be left
Dimming out the sunshines' glow

Now that the summer , is ending fast,
The burning heat is becoming a breeze
But soon the waves won't just turn cold
One day they will completely freeze

    I liked this poem. It's sad, and can be enterprited [sp] in many ways. Not just by seasons staying the same.

    I didn't like the first stanza too well, it didn't seem to flow as good as the rest of the poem. The rest of the poem, however.. Had a perfect flow, and rhyming.

    Overall, I think you did a great job with this poem.
    Keep it up.

    I love the way you used a subject such as requited lost love and turned into a poem that some may think it is about nature...

    You even warned them that it was metophorical yet some think it is about nature...Lol.

    Summer sleeps, when winter wakes
    In warmth it's numb from cold"

    Now I love those two lines because it actually captured me to read more...I sat here reading it aloud again and again. Trying to decipher what you meant by this. But I will give my own intrepretation. Summer sleeps would mean that your jovial nature to love has been traumatised and now it needs rest to heal, and in it's place, is the forboding nature of apathy and sadness coupled with loneliness when I think of the two words "winter wakes".

    It's warmth numb with cold"

    As I already said, that the apathy sadness and loneliness that winter brings start to permeate through your heart that it actually freezes your heart in a way...

    All in All...It was a really thought provoking beautifully inspired poem...Thanks for the giving me something to think about...
