The Four Seasons – Winter

The Four Seasons is the very first poem I wrote, in 1981 at age 13. It is divided into 4 parts, this is the second part called Winter. The poem is very simple and innocent, even as the poet was at the time. Read also the other parts of the poem – Spring, Summer and Autumn.

Winter

Have you ever seen the snow

That covers all life?

The dormant trees and flowers?

The birds who no longer sing?

Why do I feel so sad

When I think of the greenery

That once surrounded

This little shelter of mine?

Have you seen the snow

That is so majestic, so cold and distant –

Like a beautiful woman

So soft, like a baby’s skin –

So fair, like milk?

Have you seen

The misty, cold air

That rejuvenates old souls

And enchants young hearts?

The sun is coming out

And the snow, the beautiful woman

Smiles sparklingly

Unto the handsome sun.

Vanita Shukla Hork, 1981
