Array ( [sid] => 147560 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My Village, winter and hope [time] => 2009-01-22 13:38:53 [hometext] => This is how my village was until thirty years ago, where there was no electricity, and therefore, no television or devices to keep the family members unnecessarily busy and occupied [bodytext] =>
First snow atop the hill,
sends a chill to the spine
it melts down all hopes
for the morning sunshine

men, women, pets and cattle,
bit dismayed, amidst lull and calm
iced winds, blades cutting through,
yet into a storm it has not brewed

hordes of men hurry and store
piles of extra wood and grass
time for them to hibernate,
talking and singing to hour-glass

each one must tell a story,
sitting by fire, under lock n bolt
happy women, busy with stove
lots of tea, meat and broiled poult

Father and sons, one by one
climb the roof of their muddy abode
with shovels, spades and iron blades
they brush aside the unwanted load

Every winter passes thus
with such fervour and desire,
for a sunny and brighter morning
so as to smother the burning fire

wow i really liked this piece, it bled passion and color, also i feel you painted the screen so well, the lack of electricity, ahh simpler times eh, lol, i love my techno babble as well tho lol,

your talented and very good with imagery, each verse concocted a scene with grace and ease,

i don't want to nitpick lol, but i feel with a bit more attention to meter and syllable your poetry would stand tall above many here,

also i must say that last verse was amazing, stunning,!!

great work keep it up!!

Paints a perfect picture of
a typical day at the advent of winter
in your village..I can visualize it completely..
It conveys the mood so aptly and so beautifully..
Please keep writing..
Wishing you the best

In peace..
