~WiNTER~
The heat slowly dies down As spine chilling air approaches. Little kids look out their windows And see the leaves they formerly loved Fall and demise. The once full and fragrant flower trees Are now occupied by transparent lifeless imposters. When the wind hits the naked tree branches just right, It screeches 'Winter is Here' Water is trapped in itself Frozen to the surface, Waiting to be broken so it can elude. When stepped on just right, It shrieks 'Winter is Here' Tempting creamcolored mounds Spread raggedly down the horizon. Vivid traces of foot prints Perfectly scattered along the pure whiteness. When stepped in just right, It mutters 'Winter is Here' Roads drenched in fog; Blurry silhouettes everywhere. Clouds building overhead Darkening the scene. When listened to just right, It roars 'Winter is Here' The blistering cold slowly dies down As a warmer air comes amidst. Trees regain their stereotypical beauty And townsfolk come out of their cottages in awe To watch winter move on. Children dance around and take in the last bits of snow Before it evaporates. When watched just right, It shows Winter is gone... |

wow great job! the poem is a little bit choppy, but i understand that because you didn't make it to rhyme...but what i meant by choppy is that you went on 2 different ideas and they didn't blend well....example:
QUOTE Water is trapped in itself Frozen to the surface, Waiting to be broken so it can elude. When stepped on just right, It shrieks 'Winter is Here' Tempting creamcolored mounds Spread raggedly down the horizon. Vivid traces of foot prints Perfectly scattered along the pure whiteness. When stepped in just right, It mutters 'Winter is Here' Roads drenched in fog; Blurry silhouettes everywhere. Clouds building overhead Darkening the scene. When listened to just right, It roars 'Winter is Here' I thought that was amazing what you wrote...you really know how to capture a reader and you used a great choice of words and put them together beautifully... QUOTE The heat slowly dies down As spine chilling air approaches. Little kids look out their windows And see the leaves they formerly loved Fall and demise. The once full and fragrant flower trees Are now occupied by transparent lifeless imposters. When the wind hits the naked tree branches just right, It screeches 'Winter is Here' ......................... The blistering cold slowly dies down As a warmer air comes amidst. Trees regain their stereotypical beauty And townsfolk come out of their cottages in awe To watch winter move on. Children dance around and take in the last bits of snow Before it evaporates. When watched just right, It shows Winter is gone... these 2 verses were really good, but it kind of took away from those other verses that you wrote..the only thing that really connected them was "winter is here"..try to connect it more, or make it into 2 seperate poems ![]() |

wow, thank you! No I am not offended. I try to take tips/critisism better because 1) people respond better to it and 2) It doesn't get me anywhere but sorry for myself ^___^
although I do not see how the first and last paragraph make it choppy. the 1st is talking about winter coming and trees changing and the last is talking about how it leaves.... but , okay. i do hope you will elaborate on that statement for me =) |
