Poem Commentary

I have had a few winters of discontent to say the least

Rigid Winter

trees reaching for the sky like the gnarling hands of death
and I am feeled with cold hard dread with every single breath
the wind cries with the moaning souls of those who call my name
and I pray they'll fade away in the sounds of pouring rain
darkness falls and memory calls--faces I have known
rigid winter cold December I am all alone

You sound so wistful..... good read however. Your similies are a bit dark but that is how winter effects alot of poets.

Yes I actually have one called seasonal depression,but I also write my best stuff in winter

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
