Poetry for Winter

A really great write, after reading the first stanza I didnt expect the poem to go in the direction it did which made it even more interesting to read. Beautifully done.

"Petals of snow gracefully tumbling before my eyes
Which tree will you adorn with your beauty tonight?
Through the skeleton bracken, a boreal wind blows
And draws you from heaven towards earthly thrones."

This was poetically beautiful and free-flowing. I could see the words dancing before my eyes. The descriptions are simple yet you used the English language to bring much more to them, more meaning.

"Creatures of white night that in burrows deeply dream
Do your shivers herald the magnificience of spring?
Timidly the red fox must prey, crimson against white-grey
And plunge beneath to end life and strength regain"

Perfect flow my dear, this was mysterious yet glorious to read.

"Dark night that lingers, bright morning that dwindles
Why must your light our souls acronically temper?
And love, lust,- all passions this season betray,
For my heart is wanton and spring so far away!"

Excellent use of vocabulary here, it stunned me, your knowledge!

"My darling snow flakes, you continually tumble
And my seasons will the hunter compensate;
Passions within will once again stir and blossom
Twice, three times,- a hundred-fold at the end of winter! "

Didn't really favor that little dash after the comma but other then that well-expressed!

Keep that spirit of winter with you forever!
