Winters Edge

My leaves turn
from envy
to shades of dying flames.

They dance and dangle
to a concerto played
by Fall’s tyrant orchestra. 

 The last leaf
 
     f
       a
          l
             l                    
                s

and a       skeleton 
I am amongst them all,
baring and feeling more
then the sun's scorn!

Winter—
my acrid friend,
greets me with her
solidified utterance, draping 
her icy gown
upon my skyward tendrils.

And she hides
in the mist of her breath
the sun
waiting to exhale
Springs gentleness.

Petrified, I am held
in her acrimonious embrace.

You must revive your artistic heart through each photograph you hold...for you relay it well to us in the imagery of your words. Phenomenol write.

Hi Tracey, I've missed your poetry You write with
so much emotion and this is almost painful as the
cold can be. Those last two lines Wow!

I having trouble with this one First off it is fantastic so the trouble i speak of is getting all the meanings.
am i wrong in thinking it is about being striped bare with nothing but the coldness of emotion as a companion?

Going to have to read this a couple more times

Interesting you made winter a "she" The overtones and undertones of this might start a revolution. (-:

"They dance and dangle
to a concerto played
by Fall’s tyrant orchestra." Beautiful stanza here, and a very lovely write.

Light and Wisdom ...
