Winter never warmed a sole (intended), but it is a mighty delight for the eye. You did a fabulous job of describing winter's invasion. For me, it has a way of blanketing the world with a whisper of silence and shifts to sight spectacular.

Winter is beautiful but for me as well it is daunting and depressing. I live where the winters are cold and there is snow; pain in the a*s glitter. For me it is a season of death where color is lifeless

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I agree that it can be a "pain in the a*s glitter." As long as I don't have to go out in it, I'm okay. I have to say, being a child of the city, that I love living in the county. When it snows, the land is so pristine and undisturbed. There's a snow silence unlike any other, and it really does brighten up things. Luckily, I have the pines and the cardinals to color my world in winter. As the snow melts, I also enjoy the prisms of color that the sun sets alight in each drip from the eaves.

I wouldn't mind it if I could hybernate

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Amen to that!

Yes the winter. It's hot right but I wrote this one quite some time ago. Winter is beautiful but I hate the cold and snow.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too. I like the four seasons in Michigan. Winter is the hardest.

[Poetic Beauty]

I bet it is.

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Love this I like your style looking forward to reading more later

[Relic]

Yeah, this is nice. Remodeling is a word I never would of thought of. Right now, the heat is sweltering so although I hate biting cold, I could use it right now.

Nice writing. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

It's hot here too. This poem is from a couple years ago.

Winter does seem such a brutal beast, bringing its blinding, biting chill. The flow of your words hits the soul with such a fierce, cold rhythm. Powerful.

I'm not a fan of winter, but I do love the awing beauty of the scenery it makes upon different landscapes. I love seeing the glitter of new fallen snow or the dirty, slushy snow after it's been trodded on. Snow is such a pretty thing, but winter is a Devil all it's own.

[Poetic Beauty]

I'm not a big fan of winter either but it can be beautiful

[Sami Khalil]

It feels wintry in your lovely words indeed. Bravo.on a good write...:)....

[Poetic Beauty]

Yep it's winter here. I'm ready for spring.

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:)....

[E.V. Black]

Aahhh, so beautiful. I love winter, and you captured it very nicely. Just be sure to check your spelling, which is the only correction of which I can think.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thanks. I will look it over.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Ahhhh yes I am having flashbacks to my winter days in Pennsylvania… the first snow of winter is always beautiful, then they become annoying.

[Poetic Beauty]

Snow absolutely good for nothing

[Alfred Kukitz]

It sounds like a landscape falling from the sky.

I'm tired of it too.

Regards,

Snow can be beautiful but it is a pain in the rear.
