Mid-Winters Night

by Lynn Anderson   Dec 1, 2009


Of the most luminescent,
Are the stars on a clear, cold mid-winters night.
Extravagant skies, as far as you can see.
Millions of stars are gleaming rays, that touch here on earth.
To the deepest in the heart.
Whom have the souls of you, and me.

The same mid-winter evening sky.
Also presents our eyes with an outshining full winters moon.
Golden laces that line our every sight.
Through this golden path,
On which we follow.
This brutal, gorgeous mid-winter night.

The wind is chilled, heavy, and dense.
No inch of skin is left uncovered.
Nothing can replace the moments of this night.
Everyone, warm at home. Yet you and I walk.
To enjoy this time in life.
To also experience, the coldest winter night.

    I love the imagery. I can imagine a cold MT night with the moon in the sky. Despite the cold subject of the poem, i sense the warm love of the person that shares this winter night walk.

    There were some mechanial problems for me with this poem...
    outshining full winter's moon - should be possessive form, as you are talking about winter's moon.

    The periods at the end of the some of the sentences distracted from the flow and what I thought should have been connected thoughts...

    To the deepest in the heart
    whom have the souls of you and me.

    In the second stanza, I would remove all the periods and remove the word Also, from second sentence...makes it needlessly wordy.

    Sorry to pick it apart, but it was a beautiful poem, and I love your poetic voice...keep writing

    I love this piece of yours which so nicely gives me winter and makes me long for the cold that will soon be here - blankets like old friends stand ready to bring their warmth comfort and keep my soul toasty. thanks for a wonderful moment of winter during the end of this summer
