Winter

Autumn leaves falling
Deep into yesterday
In the cold sky overhead
Heaving shifting shades of grey

Nowhere is safe
Winter cold seeping in
Hungry birds twitter
Gusting are the winds

Bare limbs rattling
Clawing at the icy sky
Geese have long since left
Still echoing are their cries

Frozen raindrops glitter
Coating the bare winter limbs
The ground frozen stone hard
Winter has cycled around again

I'm waiting for Spring. I'm tire of Winter. I like the description of Winter. Winter make us appreciate the warm days of Spring. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Winter brings pain as well as blessing.
It gives biting touch that numbs feeling.
It also brings beauty which is very unique.
Frozen raindrops glitter to charm nature geek.

A very descriptive vision of winter, the description is excellent and well done. The detail is just enough to give the reader the fell of winter. visual and physical. Very powerful writing and very skillfully done.

An excellent picture of winter. Yes, stark and beautiful!

I like the use of the present continuous here, heaving, especially gusting, a very atmospheric poem that works even better through the clever use of tenses, so a nice job.
