I have a good poem about the winter season symbolizing death as the narrator is walking through a barren wasteland witnessing the end of the world. The event is the end of the world as he sees heaven is a barren land as well, and the season is winter. Is the poem supposed to describe every season? or just one. Cus if its every season Ill just write a new poem. Thanks.
