Evergreen dons a cloak of white,
as silence creeps with such delight.
And winds stir with weighted ease,
while poets words thrust forth to please.
Yearning lingers on crescent moons,
as romance dances and gently swoons.
Frozen images do so cleverly deceive,
for what thrives below will surely conceive.
A mistress and her devoted lover,
lie so still under winter's cover.
Sharing gasps that herald birth,
as spring bursts through upon the earth.
And poets wait with bated breath,
as life replaces cold's suspended death.
Warmth of words producing great light,
while phrases softly illuminate night
A poem is quickly born upon their lips,
shivering from winter's fingertips.
Delivered by the coo of doves
and filled with naught but nature's love.

journey into the misty shades of love
hidden inside your memories.
The images were bold and beautiful.

Flows nicely. Good rhyme and good rhythm. One suggestion: for better rhyme, change "by the coo of dove's" to " by the coos of a dove"

Wow... that is really really good. I love the first two lines... Evergreen dons a cloak of white,/
as silence creeps with such delight. The imagery through the entire thing is gorgeous. -
Tell you what I think???? Love the title as it reflects an idea born from listening and feeling the pull of nature. The rhyme scheme in each stanza is unforced. Your meter is perfect. Your metaphors of love fit perfectly into the theme. I think this is a winner. Best wishes and thank you for entering.
