Days of Winter

Days of Winter

 

It was the short days of winter

that proceeded to fade her colors,

where the precipice of night

               exacerbated

the relativity of need.

Words of brilliances and stunning aggressive writings are what your talents are best suited for as I explore ever poem I have taken the time to notice you choose your words wisely.

Your beautiful poetry fits the art you chose perfectly Kelly. Being a spring girl myself, I can relate to winter "fading her colors". Thankfully our winters here in CA are short ones. Stunning poetry - you have an amazing gift

p.s. Happy Spring - I'm getting my colors back!

Thank you, Jewels...I am delighted you are here!

I find it absolutely difficult to write concise and short poetry that really says something. And you've captured that essence here.

Love the concept of winter fading her colors.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I was going to write more, but found I was quite pleased with it just the way it read. The concept of "winter fading her colors" was what prompted me to write it upon finding the graphic. Thank you, Brian!

[Brian]

Oh, wow, so it was actually the photo that inspired you to write this? That's talent! It really is succinctly perfect just the way you wrote it. Agreed.

All colors fade in the long dark night of winter... physically and emotionally. I sense that this is subtly expressing the end of something besides winter, but a beautiful write if read straight out of the box... Great equation of physical to emotional loss!

[J. K. Beach]

P.S. I absolutely love the art!

[Kelly Scheppers]

It was written on the concept of how night intensifies the need in all of us. Thank you, Jeff!

How wonderful seeing you, Poppy...thank you!

[Stonz P.]

It ended 'toooo soooon' for me..
'the relativity of need' is a well crafted line..

I like how your pieces are short yet abundant in profoundness.
Great write again.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I simply felt I had enough on paper...there was just something about this one that spoke to me, that told me that this was enough. I appreciate the feedback more than you know...thank you!
