Lol, Olwin

Plants decay and rot away
frozen in time while
layers of white cover
remnants of their remains.

^^
Remnants of their remains somehow sounds off, like you said the same thing twice.

The sky finally cries,
releasing pure memories
obtain from billowing seas
captured from those perished.

^^
obtain, should be obtained

Other than this it was a beautiful poem, Austin! Like I was flying above a winter landscape:)

Well done,
5/5 Ingrid

Interesting to see a continuation of this 'series'. I thought you did just as well as the first part. I liked how you switched it up and instead of the wolf crying, it is now the sky. Although it was not the strongest metaphor, I liked the idea as it was different from the first part. Nice job..

Struggling against all odds,
withered branches sway
embracing the rapture
Nature bestows all around.
^^wow..again ..again..how I'm loving these..u started with the same coherence u ended the 1st part with!!!..I love ur word choice..affecting me a lot..I only suggest adding (, or ;) after rapture..wen i reread it..with stopping for a while..had an impact as I read the last line. But as u wanna :)
