Winter Storm!
Never go away, Oh! Summer
For Winter is so cold and white
Like hollowed bones that rattle
In my ribcage trying to contain
A suffering heart, ready to burst
In grief of another lonely night!
Dark sheets of icy rain fall on
Shrunken shoulders, bent in pain
Sadness and tears unrestrained
Bring forth whispers of your name
Frigid gusts carry the lament afar;
Turbulent whirlwinds of lost hope
Reach the horizon; a storm is born!

“Autumn is akin to triple beauty comprising its blazing colors. Spring possess mesmerizing beauty akin to women
and the different colors of variety flowers not to mention the spectrum of a Rainbow, but Summer reminds the
majority of people of skin cancer and burning forests, and Winter’s cold is akin to cities freezing and bringing
more hardships and death to the homeless.” _-Van Prince
Thank you for sharing this. I have personally felt the loneliness of long winter nights as festivals and family gatherings are upon us because not all can celebrate and be with lived ones. I hope each one is able to reach out to those seeking warmth and company.
You are creative interesting!
Very nicely done poem for someone who does not like winter. I think I should write a poem that celebrates it for those of us who love it better than any other season! 😊 Maybe this winter when we get one of our famous ice storms like we had last year.
