Into Cold Night

Into Cold Night

A Poem by James Takeo Panton

 

I went walking into cold night
In the forests dressed in white
Darkened tress their limbs laid bare
In the dusky winter air
Violet chorus it now sings
On the sound of distant wings
Above tree-tops and smoky stacks
From great red mansions and tiny shacks
Snow crunches sharply, all round my feet
Trudging down along frozen white street
Air crisp and clean, flows like a fountain
Dark snowy clouds loom over like mountain
Skies grow dim, purple and red
Sun slowly falls in snowy bed
All turns to blue, and silvery white
Breath now grows frozen on wintry night
On dispatch of errand I venture on
Just as last remnants of daylight now gone
Dark is the forest, cold is the night
No warmth or sunshine until morning’s light

I love the rhyming in this poem..it slows well and its not forced..you kind of forget it even rhymes because it just sounds natural..i loved it..I love the last 5 lines..the 'wintry night' is descriptive and pleasant..You did a great job of using descriptive wrods throughout the entire poem to draw the reader in..i cant anything more besides that i enjoyed the read...
Well From One Word-Play Poet To The Next..Always Remember To Write With Your Heart!
