To Winter

Dimly lit streets pulsate with a choir
Of children's voices, accompanying the whistling wind '
It nibbles and burns exposed ear lobes,
Whilst chapped, raw hands retreat into woollen comfort
Beneath the torrid nights' canvas, which roams and
Rumbles above turbulent rivers and seas.
The sky erupts and belches out clouds of
Fine white flakes, coating each brittle blade of grass.
The snow dominates the frozen ground,
Glistening in the moonlight, mimicking the
Winking stars in the gloomy skies.

I once wrote a poem almost exactly the same as this one. Then I kept drafting it till I lost what I wanted to say. Not only that, I lost the original so I can never reclaim it. Your poem reminds me of something very personal, and that's a rare thing.
I'd like to reply to your internal mail but I can't afford to buy membership at the moment, so I'll say here that you're the only (unpublished) poet on the site that is worth reading - hence my barrage of posts. Email me

"Meagre Portions"

by Graeme Sandford



Offering a small glimpse of some of the words that informal grae - Graeme Sandford - has cobbled together over the years in an attempt to become rich and famous through his writing. Sadly, he is poor and unknown (largely due to his writing).

So, what are you waiting for?
