Autumn ushers overcast reflections
Flannel wraps and woolen hats betray the frailty of
Skin and bones in all our dim perfection
Knit together, fit and clever, better made for love
Harvest sprinkles carpet leaves for winter
Tuck us in our crafted dens like hibernating bears
Bring us dreams to compliment the weather
Sleepy eyes for stormy skies ’till I can meet you there
This is so beautiful. I love to picture in my mind what you must have had in yours when you wrote it.
excellent. you are talented for writing endless streams of poetry. do you ever take time to breath ๐ keep it up.
I don’t post a lot of what I write because I don’t like it lol. But I do have very inspirational people and circumstances in my life at the moment, so I don’t take a breath often ๐
Thank you very much!
A taste of winter sprinkled with a dash of longing, another masterpiece of words!
Thank you so much! I’m thankful you enjoyed it ๐
I have had so little time to get to the computer. It’s great to come here and get greeted with such an excellent poem! It is amazing how you consistently come up with such excellent work!
Thank you, zumpoems
Once again – wonderful poetic phrasing and images… the literal and metaphorical references to both the frailty and arrogance of the human mind and body in the midst of cold winter… the longing to hibernate. I really love this, VW – it’s so multi-layered, as are all your poems !
Thank you, Betty. Much kinder words that I deserve, as always ๐
