Sunday Poetry: “Hello Winter”

Welcome to Sunday Poetry. If this is your first visit you can read about the purpose and inspiration of my Sunday poetry blogs here.

So it’s now the middle of winter… how are you doing?  For some winter is a difficult challenge that must be taken a day at a time.  For others the cold and snow is a time for silence and solitude, for healing and introspection.  How is it for you?  Perhaps this poem, “Relearning Winter” by Mark Svenvold will help you better appreciate this special time of year.

Remember, we read poetry together here for the pure pleasure of the experience. There are no quizzes, no right ways to read or contemplate the poem we share. Absolutely no dissecting allowed. Just come along for the “read.” What line, word or thought will you carry with you this week? If you’d like to tell us where the poem took you? We’ll listen.
