In the winter of my life
I longed for spring to start
to thaw the frozen tundra
inside my aching heart—
to weave a bed of flowers
to bring fresh seeds to bloom
to melt away the pain
deep inside my womb.
In the winter of my life
I longed for spring to come
to feel the joy and madness
to push away the glum—
to fill my lonely spirit
with fresh new loving scent
of endless summer days
and every dream I’ve dreamt.

This is stunning Kira!! Superb use of the prompt, i love the descriptions combined with the emotion it works brilliantly, than you for participating 🙂
Loved the first stanza-exquisite!
This is so much more than just a poem! The way it is structured is simply magnificent 👏
Magnificent write👌
Beautiful Miss K!
Superb penned ✍✍
That is so beautiful….your poems absolutely sing.
Nice!
I Absolutely Love love love this poem and picture!!!
Beautifully spoken words with magnificent art.. Just awesome Queen❤️❤️
Penned nicely
The count is right, the rhyme does fit, the words carry meaning but the tones of the second stanza feel off somehow… just me. For some reason the second stanza just called to me for a six beat end… I guess a rhythm thing. This has it…adding one word at the end of the other would have it too. Personally – both are real and distinctly personal.
Very beautiful piece! Written beautifully!
Nicely conveyed Kira and artwork which I am drawn too. I am very much a spring person, the season of rebirth. In the winter of our lives, it is always more difficult to capture that little bit of spring. However, it is there if you look hard enough.
