Winters Long Nights

by Jad   Oct 31, 2010


Lingering nights
beckoned by the pale moon
shines with a eerie glow,
piercing earths darkness.

Life in the forest
shuttles in their homes,
mesmerized by cascaded white
blanketing Mother Nature.

Yet the wind whispers,
whipping, swirling, and throwing
casting a light breeze,
yet the life of nature proliferate.

The silence of night is broken
as a wolf resounds his cry,
trying to overcome and endure
Winters long nights.

    'a' in the first stanza should be 'an'. This poem was excellent, you incorporated the senses in a unique way, I could definitely see and hear everything I read. I also loved the title, I thought that worked really well with the poem as a whole.

    Absolutely beautiful and deeply surreal while reading, this was a touching nature write where you went over and above the expected descriptions, and imagined something new at night. Thanks for sharing.

    God bless!

    I love the picture of errie moon and the dark night... sounds beautiful to me :)
    womnderful write... lovely descriptions of a long winter night... the imagery wolf's cry in the last stanza ends it very well.
