Once Upon A December

Once Upon A December

Soft powder flurries from the sky,
As I gazed out my window,
Waiting for the familiar sound,
Of his jet black Corvette.

Tonight was the night,
James and I would become one,
Tonight was the night,
We'd leave this dump for good.

Breaking through the white sheet,
Two lights slash through,
Focusing on my window;
Letting me know it's time.

Snatching my suitcase,
And a few necessities,
I sneak out the back,
And into the bitter cold.

Ducking and diving branches,
I race myself into his open arms,
Breathing in deeply his scent,
And the rich night air.

Light flash on from an upstairs window,
We are in his car within a heartbeat,
Soon speeding down 164;
Once Upon A December.

    I thought the flow in this was very good throughout, despite it not rhyming.
    Imagery was again wonderfully painted with a beautiful opening and a powerful ending.
    At times though, I thought this seemed more like a short story than a poem.
    Apart from that though, I think you did a great job with this.

    This was a perfect picture. It seemed quite like a story to me. The poem flowed nicely really breathe taking and capturing. I've read a few poems with this title I'm guessing it come from a contest or so on. This was a creative piece. Really beautiful. Well done~mel
