Winter's Poetry

'The Winter's Frost'

The Winter's Frost
Was paid at quiet a cost
For I, amidst the woods white tipped leaves of green, was lost.


'The Traveler'

Among the winter's frost there stood,
A traveler at the crossroads.

Had he traveled far? Yes!
Had he become lost? Yes!

The frost had driven all beast and human,
All creature fair and unso.

No one stood there at the crossroads,
But the one man,
The traveler far away from home-
Tangled among the creeks and snow;
Standing there deciphering the code
Within the winter's chill.

He came upon a clue of civilization,
And so he took the path that
Diverged left.
After some time the smell of Christmas
came upon him,
And he knew right where he was!

He was in his home village,
He was not a stranger,
He was Johnny Birkins back home from war
To see his true love,
The one that he had married
Before the war broke the calm of peace;

He was not lost,
Even though it had seemed so-
He was back home in time
For Christmas' cheer and love.

Johnny Birkins had
Made it home.




Hope that you like my poems, I hope to write a bunch more but not just for winter but for every season and then I will make a book out of them. :)

alright people here is another challenge or should I say contest.

I want you all of you,
it doesn't matter how you write it but I would like you all to write a piece of poetry here, and yes one that you came up with.

Imagination said...

Poetry stinks,
And I can't wink
Because of the stupidty of this poem.

See it doesn't even have to be good.
or it can be just like a opinion kinda like the one above, but hey you guys all like poetry right??

Mere mortals cower and tremble,
The earth shakes with in mindless fear. The sky hides her face.

The dragon is on the hunt!

Beasts hide in woodlands green,
The birds scatter and swoop. Men refuge in dark places, voices hushed and low

The dragon is on the hunt!

Oh kings protect your daughters, You shining knights run far.
Misers board up your hoarded wealth
Do all in futile use

The dragon is on the hunt!

The sea roars in briny deep,
The mountain rumbles without.
The storms clash and crackle.
The mighty deadly glory

The dragon is on the hunt!

Tremble and fear, all people
Shrink and fade away,
Lethal beauty, terrible one
Shining like the morning sun

The dragon is on the hunt!

Dark Ravyn said...

Hold your breath-
Paused on the brink

The earth unfolds before you in molten golds and unearthly greens
The sky is blazing blue, clear and hard.

Take a step-
Waiting for the plunge

The wind swirls around you, calling, its etheral voice trembles in the rushing air.

Your heart beats-
Anticipation you taste

The rocks below you are sharp and cold, like many sharpened blades, you cannot, will not, fail.

And you leap-
What courage, how hard, how easy, it is to fly!

Stone angel ever silent
Gaurds both night and day
Head bowed in marble grief
Watching graves where they lay

Never finding sweet relief
Rain falls like silver lace
Though drenched in your agony
No tear can cross your face


srry that sounds so depressing, i just had an idea to make a poem about the stone angels which you see at the cemetary sometimes. i wanted to capture their sadness and what they might feel if the were alive.

thanks!!!
