To Mr. Fall and Miss Winter

a letter to Fall and Winter

Dear Mr. Fall & Miss Winter

 

Fall, you always come in to kill the life again.

You rip from trees and me a since of life leaving little left of we.

But a normal trend of age, unnoticed by eyes that gaze

upon blank beauty of summer days which is lost in your cold age.

For its so dark, every year, in early skies and deep in here --> <3 .

Crinkled colors compare me to dry leaves as they break with ease.

Why is it you bring this transparent me to a wood of evergreen

is it your wish to make us look so poor and get a glance no more.

You stifle our magic that once poured o’re eyes open to lore.

But you aren’t all to blame, is your fall to Winter that puts me in shame.

 

She buries in cold, deep to the once warm core like always before

where it’s so hard to warm through our thick rugged bark in which we hide.

But the issue that is often faced is no fire to warm thy hand leaving me alone,

no sticks, no match, not even a hand to help to fan warmth in

leaving me a cold dead piece of meat around animals huddled round heath.

So is evergreen what I wish us to be? No they’re cruel and prickly.

One day green will refill all of me and my lovely trees

But I must wait for your beautiful cousins Summer and Spring

To fill me with love like always, so Mr. Fall and Winter please

Leave my brain and trees be

 

 

With love and consideration

Hippy

This was a good poem. I don't like that the leaves on the trees die either. That really isn't cool at all. But eventually everything dies and new life is formed...but this poem is excellent. Good job on this. Thanks for sharing. :)

this is a totally creative way to think about fall and winter. i love the format of it too :D it makes me a little sad too when i see all the leaves fall of the trees. great write :]

[Signet]

That's really creative. I like how you refer to Summer and Spring as beautiful cousins of Fall and Winter. I like the symbolism of Fall and Winter as destroyers of greenery and Summer and Spring as nurturers and how the forest envies the Evergreens. Beautiful imagery! I'm not much of a reviewer but I think it's really great! :)

[HorrorMaster]

Very creative

I like it

[Lilly]

This is a really creative format - Something a little different which is good. Nice imagery and view of these seasons
nice work

A clever letter to the seasons (from the forest I presume). A lot to be said for this poem, including the internal rhymes and cadence that matches the seasons. There are many typos, spelling errors and some grammatical things to tend to, but overall I'd say this is a winner.

Great work here. I found myself feeling a bit sad as I watched
the trees along the highway beginning to glow with browns and oranges.
