Winterlude

Neville

Winterlude

 

For those who don’t

already know ..

Is that portion of time

which consists

of more than a yawn

and a pause

between dying

and kickstarted breath ..

It is without doubt

that single

portion of time when

still waters

harden and everything

slows, to barely

a halt and is likewise,

held fast

in a firm, gout like grip

and only ever

set free, by these

occasional snow ploughs ..

      Absolutely beautiful poem, you must include this one in an upcoming book. I was thinking it was too warm in England for waters to harden like they do here, but lovely sentiment. I just love this one.....saving to my favs! C

          Seem to remember some bloke walking on water...though it was a long time ago and he carked it in his thirties...Still, there must be evening classes for that kind of thing...πŸ™‚

            Dear Neville,
            You certainly have a way with words.
            You are incredibly talented.
            This poem made me think of someone experiencing a heart attack. I guess each reader has their own interpretation depending on their own experiences.
