Midwinter

Draven

A blackbird soars through the clear blue sky

battling against the icy wind

flying parallel with Severinsbrücke

looking down and into the Rhein

and seeing the water sparkling

with reflection from the midwinter sun.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Inspired by Cologne. I was catching the tram today and just wrote what I saw when I crossed over the bridge :) minus 3 degrees today - that is freezing for this Aussie. Also, I tried mulitple times to upload a photo (on my phone and on the PC) but it never worked. I had this problem originally with my profile pic too. If anyone has any insights or advice on this, let me know by DM please!

      Delightful Draven .. your poem that is .. you are too of course, but that's a different story ..........Very timely too, I might add, it being the Winter Solstice today ... x

      • Draven

        Yeah! I am pleased, a total coincidence!

        Gorgeous imagery but then the scenery throughout Germany is beautiful. You capture the scene so gently with your words, so wanna walk through the black forest.

        • Draven

          Thank you so much! I have been fortunate to see a whole lot of Germany through my touring job, yet I have not visited the Black Forest, it is on my list. Perhaps next year.

          Lovely writing ! I love blackbirds … just saw one outside … pretty birds

          • Draven

            Thank you! I am not sure if it was a blackbird, or indeed just a black bird. Haha. πŸ™‚

            • Caring dove

              Yes , male blackbirds have a bright yellow beak .. females dull brown yellow beak .

              Actually maybe it wasn’t a blackbird earlier … not sure .



              • Draven

                Definitely not a blackbird haha.

                Can feel for you in that low temp. dear Draven - your words paint so well nature's struggles when it is cold -

                • Draven

                  Thank you very much! I was well rugged up today, but glad I wasn't outside for long!

                • Coyote

                  Keep warm my friend and keep penning these masterpieces. Another fantastic writeπŸ™‚

                  • Draven

                    Thank you so much for your encouragement! πŸ˜€ It means a lot!

                    Minus 3, that's like summer in Britain.
                    You would think, birds being sensible creatures, they'd bugger off to warmer climates.

                    • Draven

                      Haha unless they're used to them too! πŸ˜›

                    • Garth Rakumakoe

                      A vivid portrait of nature's very own art, snapped in high literal definition. You write very well gifted one. An attractive piece this is!

                      • Draven

                        Thank you so much!! πŸ˜€

                      • Rozina

                        Beautiful description. Would love to go to Germany, in spring or summer or autumn - I fear the icy wind.

                        • Draven

                          Germany is beautiful! I think my favourite time is Spring though, this is the time I would usually visit, and then when I eventually moved here, this was the time I came. πŸ™‚
