Winter Poems
Constantinople
by Lady Mary Wortle Montagu
Written January 1718 in the Chiosk at Pera, overlooking Constantinople
Give me Great God (said I) a Little Farm
in Summer shady, & in Winter warm
where a cool spring gives birth to a clear brook
by Nature slideing down a mossy Rock
Not artfully in Leaden Pipes convey'd
Or greatly falling in a forc'd Cascade
Pure & unsully'd winding throu' ye Shade.
All bounteous Heaven has added to my Praier
a softer Climate and a purer Air.

Stein 100: A Feather Likeness Of The Justice Chair
by Jackson Mac Low
A feather table: reckless gratitude.
It is that-there that means best.
White the green grinding trimming thing!
The disgrace, like stripes.
More selection, slighter intention.
Rosewood stationing is use journey: curious dusty empty length.
Winged cake: the cake, the plan that neglects to make color certainly.
Time long could winter: elegant consequences monstrous.

Morning
by Mary Darby Robinson
O'ER fallow plains and fertile meads,
AURORA lifts the torch of day;
The shad'wy brow of Night recedes,
Cold dew-drops fall from every spray;
Now o'er the thistle's rugged head,
Thin veils of filmy vapour fly,
On ev'ry violet's perfum'd bed
The sparkling gems of Nature lie.
The hill's tall brow is crown'd with gold,

In Winter In My Room
by Emily Dickinson
1670
In Winter in my Room
I came upon a Worm—
Pink, lank and warm—
But as he was a worm
And worms presume
Not quite with him at home—
Secured him by a string
To something neighboring

Love Is...
by Adrian Henri
Love is...
Love is feeling cold in the back of vans
Love is a fanclub with only two fans
Love is walking holding paintstained hands
Love is.

December
by Joe Machetto
as winter howls and moans
the stray dog sleeps
inside the moon
Winter Blue
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
On a crisp clear morning, the sky is deeply blue,
And in the distance I can see, blue mountains too.
Blue jay is in the tree, powdery snow everywhere-
The sky is in the lake, frosty clouds in the air!
The sun lavishes lemon rays, never quite outdone,
While Uranus and Neptune, waltz afar from the sun.
Sticks of winter
by Barry Howarth
Through the sticks
of winter
there is a desire to
glance
and see her,
but
nothing to see here now.
March and her buds
will

growing to winter
by Sarah A
i’ve always craved the sunshine
longing for winter to pass
and to feel
warmth radiating from within my skin
again

Cold Rain
by Brice Bauer
Another day of cold rain
My bones call out for warmth
Aching for the embrace of sunlight
The arms of God hugging My Earth.
With clean skies to accompany the clean state of mind.
Another day of cold rain,
I am left with nothing but a shivering spine
And a longing for brighter times.
Silent songbirds to guard the silent streets,
Their silence echos throughout the truth of my spirit and soul.
