Dying in the Winter

Although he was tired,
hid rays of warmth caressed the world.
Gentle rays of sun embraced your skin,
his promise of never falling below the horizon.
Today his smile is in your good graces,
and lurks apon the earth. 

While the world was supressed in misty showers
of brilliant white snows.
We all became snow bunnies.
A red giant in his return
his lovely yellow rays faded away.
and we new we should run.

Unless I grabed the stars,
to paint the ground with foot holes,
maybe to sink to the core of the earth,
rather than freeze in my own inhumanity.
The big red giant calloused me
burning my gentle flesh.

Please tell me what you think

    I'm not sure if I got the whole theme of the piece last time, but I (think) I do now and I can appreciate even more then I did before. I can't pick out a favorite part because in a work like this, you cant let anything really stand out or you lose the message and feel. Going on to read some more, Madison.

    quoting you;

    'Unless we grab the stars,
    As we paint the ground with foot holes,
    As if to sink to the core of the earth,
    rather than freeze in your own inhumanity,
    The big red giant callous' you obdurately, burning your gentle flesh'...

    Wonderful

    Hi my sweet friend.Hey,I think is very,very good.I love the reference to the sun going down and leaving us with the promise of the forlorn absense.That exact statement has happened to me on more than one occation.It brought to me a wonderful memory.When I was in high school,I was so in love with this girl whom I doubt even new I was alive.In the winter when the days would get short,I would go to bed and dream of her.There was always something in my heart that made winter so hard for me.I think it was because I knew I couldn't see her till the next day,and I would cry myself to sleep every night.The ref to "freezing in our own inhumanity",that says more than you can imagine.So many of us have a tendancy to do exactly that.I love this write,it is deep beyond my words of expression.I love it,and I love you.Just me,Don.

    oh. my. gawd. You have no idea how much i love this!!!! It's sooooo amazing and the imagry basically left me breathless. I'm not even joking. favorite part:

    Unless we grab the stars,
    As we paint the ground with foot holes,
    As if to sink to the core of the earth,

    This is quite honestly the best you've ever done. Every line touches your heart to the core. Melissa, my dear, All you've ever written ever before seems entirely inferior compared to this and i can't wait to read your next poem to see if it's as good as this. If this is what you do when you're sick, then i hope you come down w/ something horrible lol jk. C U tomorrow or not if you're writing another masterpiece...
