Waiting
May 4, 2010
Silence falls over the sparkling white valley
As a bleak winter chill settles.
The bare trees’ weak branches
Bend under the weight of the everlasting ice.
The dull sun’s rays fail to warm the Earth
As a cold, bitter wind howls like a hunting wolf.
A small, lonely bird peers into the unwelcoming grey sky,
Yearning to soar towards new beginnings brought by the spring.

It's great! Keep up the good work! :)
haha Thanks so much! I tend not to write a lot of poetry like this, but I do have a few short poems like haikus and such that I might post :) I've always tended to be a story-writer...kinda. I really want to improve my writing to make it a ton better though!
