Winter Break

A Poem by Arron Steep (AKA Reid A. Peterson)
"

WINTER BREAK first appeared in "Amaranthine with Other Short Stories and Poems" (2023).

"

Once yonder snowy 

wasteland thawed

beneath it lay most 

verdant scene


Springtime promise 

midst the sod

forthcoming bud

defies the fiend


The deep blue of 

a darkened sky

held the eve in

bold solemnity


The burning orange 

glow of the lights 

on empty streets 

welcome me home


Midnight air is 

cold to breath

memories distant

my fingers freeze


Resonance of 

hollow passions

delay my wanted 

dreams
