Poem Commentary

Thank you so much to all my friends, new and old, who have taken the time to read my work and offer their reviews. I am honored and thrilled to have actually won a weekly contest here, because I know just how many worthy poets are entered each week. Special thanks to each and every one of you for the warm congratulations and kind words of support. I can't even begin to tell you all how very much this means to me.

Winter Bides Her Time

the blue-gray moon, cracked into pieces by the stark silhouette of a dying oak...

tiny icicles stretching toward the ground, pointing their accusatory fingers...
 

mantle of snow glittering on the forest floor, effectively muting the quietest of sounds...

moonbeams betray the site of the lake, frozen over and cloudy, intriguing and deceptively inviting...

fresh cold wind biting, gnashing its teeth bitterly, ravenous and invigorated...

yet the moonlight still dances lightly over the pristine snow, exploring, caressing, twinkling...

all the while knowing this moment will not last, and will never be repeated...

Congrats on this poem, my friend. However, I disagree; this poem will last for many ages; come rain, ice, sleet or snow these words will stand the test of time.

Wow! I'm impressed. This is a beautifully descriptive piece. You really took me there, simon. Now I hope you intend to pass around some hot mulled cider..
