Sensing Winter Comments

Some lovely impressions here. While I liked the penultimate couplet, the opener is a startling metaphor that reminds me of Ovid or Homer. Well done.

Wonderful, the ambivalence about the loss of the sun and the anticipated xcitement that comes from a fire that is made by your lover, Gershon

:) lovely poem.. I love the sun too! Especially the first few lines were superb! HBH

Lori...this is great. You know how much I love those cuplets. Gets and 11.

yes, i really like this! reminds me of some lines from one of my favourite poems: 'Whoever has no house now will not build one anymore. Whoever is alone now will remain so for a long time, will stay up, read, write long letters, and wander the avenues, up and down, restlessly, while the leaves are blowing. from Rainer Maria Rilke “Autumn Day”

This is a delicious poem. I love 'trees of glass' and 'hot chocolate and cool jazz.' I also tend to worship the sun but see the beauty in winter. (But it is nice to live in Las Vegas where I don't put up with snow. :) Raynette
