In snow-covered backyard, garden is without bloom,
Lonely is my heart and silence pervades the room.
Wind is forgetful today,
Who is to knock on door?
Lost in their own thoughts,
Frugal is leaves' communication.
Time is in prison today, hourglass broken.
The bird is caged in here, emotions fenced.
Hearth is cluttered
And burned out is fire.
Dancing shadows of yonder land
Upon television zoom.
But fail to breathe life
In dead-still room.
Yet the crisp cool richness of afternoon
Invites me calmly-
Come! bathe in my hue for once
‘Cause I am part of your life!
This is so beautiful poem on nature and winter having haunting expression and nice diction. Alive depiction. Let me quote... Time is in prison today, hourglass broken The bird is caged in here emotions fenced Hearth is cluttered and fire burned out Dancing shadows from yonder land Beaming upon television Breathe not life in still room Yet the crisp cool richness of afternoon Invites me calmly... Thanks for sharing this gem.10
my favorite lines are, perhaps, the first two and the last two. The bird is caged in here emotions fenced................ here or her............ i honesty don't know! a well-placed comma would help me. :) this poem is very unique (for me) so far. i would not write like this probably, but I like it! i won't try to explain. though i don't know for sure what is being said, and it has (very) little rhyming, and NO humor/humour, i am still compelled to add this to MyPoemList. bri :)
