four seasons
we know em all
i was yet to see
what Winter felt like
we know em all
i was yet to see
what Winter felt like
living here in this warm land
i knew not what it was
to feel cold
to put on mittens and gloves
knew not what it was
to wear sweaters
to cuddle up in front of the fire….
………
………
and then it happened
was beautiful
little drops of ice
sitting pretty on the fence
sun,taking a peek
clouds, bright and white
cool air flowing through my hair
ah,i now knew it
i knew what winter was.
wish i could take you back
lock you up in a box
hide you in my closet
for me to savor everyday…

What a great idea, if only we could put the different seasons in a box and bring them out when we wanted to!
Lucky you! – living in a warm place, it’s freezing here.

ah nice to find a fellow winter lover 🙂
it’s not that great when you live with it…hehe
lots of snow here but unfortunately, no fireplace except a fake pillow one my mom made one year for a Christmas present. My youngest is convinced it turns into a real fireplace for Santa to get through…lol
I love the ice part, its so beautiful!
each season is at its most beautiful when encountered in small doses… very nice poem….
I lived in Malawi for two years and couldn’t get used to the heat – we pinned up snow scenes on the walls to remind ourselves of winter!
Hi Aarti, I had a friend visiting from Delhi who had been born and raised in Kashmir. I took him for a ride into the winter mountains of WA state, and we stopped at a ski area. He hadn’t seen snow in 15 years and he stood outside the car weeping. I then took him to a little eastern WA town by the name of Cashmere, and its hills and orchards took him home again. Thanks for your poem, it reminded me…
I’ve always live with snow and I think that I never want to be without that change in the season, where cold bites your nose. What a charming poem to let us know what the difference. Thank you!
@sweettalkingguy – i know, that would make life so much more fun… i keep wishing we had snow where i live, and tell my friends to bottle some and send it across.. 🙂

@just jen – how cute@the pillow.. i’ve always wondered if people in other parts of the world had fire places to cuddle up in front of… Thot it was like part of your house…:)
@paisely – ur name reminded me of Brad paisely(the singer)… thanks for the lovely comment and coming by..
@crafty green poet – whoa,i havent gone to that extent yet.. but still look at snow pictures on the comp and go sigh~~
@rwellsrwells – wow,what you did for your friend was sweet.. glad i reminded u of the days…:)
@Mary Timme – lucky u…i’ve seen snow only once, when i had gone up north(in india) n always wanted to live where i could open my door n see snow outside…
I, too, came from a warm country, the Philippines and I easily connect to your sentiments of wishing for snow and dreaming of winter. Here’s how my first snow happened, click link below:
