Winter        by Sami Khalil

An English sonnet…



 

Upon a dare, Winter comes plundering

Patchwork of leaves before the frigid frost

The comfort of warm beds greets the morning

As we rise from slumber to pale dreams lost.

 

Some guests invite themselves into houses

As furnaces come on with clicks and hums

Gulf of branches appear where snow douses

Sturdy shoulders of hills, mansions and slums.

 

Winter is some peoples’ pleaser, you know

Rarely tinged with color; yet kisses sweet

Holidays, retreats, family and stars aglow

Steadfast love where mundane and sacred meet.

 

As for me, I’m thankful for all seasons

Made to leave us traces, imprints, reasons.

Winter brings so many memories especially packed with holidays. Poet described so elegantly the weather and humans in winter. Loved this poem.

Wow! So true and well said! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and blessings.
Well done. I like the way you personified the landscapes with "sturdy shoulders". That line really stands out to me.

Such beautiful colors painted on every word... and yes, every season with its own shades and hues. I love winter the least, but perhaps in your poetry I find more to appreciate about it... more to be thankful for.

Any recognition to winter is just fine with me. Love your closing most of all, Sami. It truly speaks of the virtues of every season, and what we are meant to take from them!

The seasons are each beautiful in their own way. Winter with it’s brilliant white snow and the celebration that take place in the winter months are beautiful but alas I don’t not like the cold nor the snow when I have to be out in it.

The images of this poem is stunningly written and done with great care.
