Impressions Of Winter Poem by Lori Boulard

Impressions Of Winter

Rating: 5.0


Wild geese pepper a grey soup sky,
hanging almost too thick for flight.

Colors only shocking by their absence
beg seasoning to flavor the season.

Trees down to twigs poke stiffly in wind.
Snow-swollen sticks of marshmallows,

they freeze far above the fire of Spring,
stirring and simmering deep underground.

Living in Michigan I can really appreciate this poem Lori. I loved the line about the snow- swollen sticks of marshmallows! All our trees here are covered with snow and now that's the image I'll have when I look at them. Very nice. :) Sincerely, mary

A vivid picture of the play of the stasis described and the movement waiting in the wings. Though it doesn't snow where I am (gets a little nippy, though) , I loved feeling the cold in this poem!
