Winter's Grip Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Winter's Grip

Rating: 5.0


The trees in my backyard
Have been stripped of
Their crowning glory
And lovely armor,
Absolutely naked,
From winter's grip.
They are like dancers
Swaying with the winter wind,
Showing to the whole world
Their strength, grace and beauty,
Despite pain and suffering.

You have a great future provided that you you should not sell your conscience at the feet of liers and educational defamers. God bless you. I am not a cup of your tea

The deeper side of meaning here indicates that we should rise after falling, be strong after weakness, but it has expressed in the language of metaphor by using the symbol of trees, thank you for this master piece of poetry

A big statement on the naked facts of life. The poem exhorts us to ‘stand upright even in the moments of grief and loss…" lovely.
