FOR THE LOVE OF WINTER

[John Walton]

FOR THE LOVE OF WINTER

It is a marriage made in heaven.
The snow falls like confetti
And land and sky come together as one.
Nothing is left untouched
As their surfaces entwine
In blissful solitude.
The romantic in me
Tells me they should be left alone.
Lost in their moment together.
For in my heart I know
Theirs is a love
That cannot last forever.

Hi John, Simply lovely. A unique take on winter. Great work!

Hello John,

This is a very tender, serene look at winter, while most people are cussing it out right now. Very nicely done. CR

John,
I too love this take on Winter, a marriage, lots of great imagery and beautiful phrasing, delightful Welcome to the forum.

I love winter too! You did a beautiful job of showing us just why!

[Reilley]

An intimate and sensual look at the connection of land and sky during winter's slumber. Even the image is a bit erotic.

A great change of perspective for some of us who are tired of shoveling.

I think this is my favorite type of love poem. The ones that end with a bit of dismay or loss, especially the way you lay it in the last three lines:

For in my heart I know
Theirs is a love
That cannot last forever.

It's a very powerful ending to the poem. Great job!

Thank you to everyone for commenting. Much appreciated. John

Hi John,

I really like this!  The earth and the sky really do come together as one when the snow is falling, and it is unique.  I never really thought of it that way before.  And the next time I have to shovel, which I hear will likely come again tomorrow, I will feel guilty that I am breaking up their temporary union.
This is really good. 

I have a winter poem which I will post in the next few days.  It is a good subject.

Dan

Nicely written and on a topic for which so many poems have been written you have managed a different vantage point than most. Well done

Hello John,

you have penned a most interesting and unique poem that has wonderful style...well-done!

thanks for the great read

The traditional romance of the beginning of the poem and the convincing winter setting work very well - and the slight shift at the very end turns it in a melancholy direction. Well done
