Happy Winter to you too Michele. Very cool rhythmic poem. I’ve never disliked winter because I see it as time of preparation. After reading your poem, I actually appreciate it all the more. Although the earth is getting ready for yet another change, all that lives above and below the ground is experiencing winter’s stillness.
Oh how I wish we could all have more opportunities to be still for a while, nothing to do, nothing to see, nothing to feel, to just be, quietly preparing for what comes next!

“The chill of winter does bruise the reed,
yet tenderly scatters its’ tiny seed.”
A metaphor for life.
I shall tuck this one in my heart, if I may.
Happy Winter, Michele.
