Winter - Four Pictures

things that I see

A crow motionless in a field of snow ;

burnt paper in the wet morning ash.

The dead locked into the frozen earth ;

leaves blacken under a hidden moon.

The trees abstract with frost ;

weighed and bending with ice.

A sun weak and blinded from rain ;

glass under the hand of sleet.

Author's Note

Another poem that probably nobody will read, but I keep busy...

The attention you pay to images is outstanding ! Every word is so well chosen ! Motionless - dead - abstract - weak, all adjectives belonging to the same "atmosphere". The strong use of nature is appealing (I've seen the same in the last poem of yours I've reviewed) ! From a western "point of view", you belong pretty much to the romantic literature ;)

[Becky C Strukamp]

You write beautiful imagery. Each of your poems are very readable and very worth the read.

[FJ Davis]

Stunning imagery, Leslie!
An absolute pleasure to read.

[Tina Kline]

Very stark and dramatic. All very vivid images of winter.

[Coyote Song]

I like this. Powerful pictures of winter, some beautiful and some sinister. This is pure enjoyment for the eye and for the emotions!

[Ufi Auttorri ~ UfoAutho..]

This one was pretty good, I think. It is not political, nor demanding and even tends to convey a sense of vision where such may not always exist. It staggers over the distance yet somehow manages to make it to the fire. Have an ale and a small sense of self-satisfaction.

I like this poem especially the ending...

[Nautili]

Lovely.

So vivid, serves the title right 'Four Pictures' of winter I've seen in this writing :)
