To Die in a Winter's Cry
Sonnet
a whim of attention and a buyer's time.
To think that I have to make this poem rhyme,
the winter is an awfully lonely place to die.
What happened to all snowflakes being unique?
And where did the sun go when it was too cold?
A headstone covered with winter's shameless blindfold,
I'd hate to see a funeral when nature's being oblique.
But to live is to breathe and it's hard at this second.
In fact, I'm quite positive it's not possible at all,
I don't know how to deal with this never-ending snowfall,
much less the feelings you seem to have beckoned.
I've caught on to the fact that it's much easier to lie,
than to give in and to die in a winter's cry.

Post a CommentWow that is powerful!
It's 98 degrees outside. Reading your poem made me shiver, though.
Awesome work as always (and I linked your AC page on my blog under "Poetry Mavens", BTW).
Such visual work! "A headstone covered with winter's shameless blindfold." Wow!
I love the line "What happened to all snowflakes being unique?" Great write on more than one level.
I am tired of shoveling!
