*****
Winter’s Way
Icy slabs of concrete make every step a study
A thoughtful plan of placement and of stride
The fall, always regarded, and the catching
There’s much more to be broken than your pride
You glance around for soft spots
Or hope to find a thoughtful patch of sand
Winter’s brittle body, endless graying
Like the longing of an ungloved frozen hand
The pathway is hardest in this final season
Time moves slipping down the frigid glass
You see the vapors chilling condensation
And wish you’d known this future in your past

I truly hope you're making some money on your creative endeavors. The poem strikes me as walking on a sidewalk. Step on a crack, break you mother's back. So goes the children's rhyme.

Yes, don't we all wish we'd known the future in our past. It does get harder as our figurative winter approaches. I've always been aware of time slipping away, but to express it as "slipping down the frigid glass" is an amazing metaphor that chills the reader to the core.

i could write with regard to the seem of one of the vampires liquid golden eyes, glimmering dermis like diamonds, completely around lips, difined cheekbone, bronzy hair (or what ever shade) it may desire to pass on for a mutually as. or write how a pair feels approximately one yet another love could make a poem decide for an prolonged time P.S. i'm hoping you recommend new moon by potential of stephanie meyer, if its not, sorry for a waste of time :P

Sounds like you don't like winter!
Winter is one of the seasons I favour
It's not like the stressful summer
the hot dreadful heat is a real pain
Then I dream of a cool refreshing rain
Pigging out on icecream & pop again
To relieve me of the pain full summer
Stress full heat, getting my pleasure
Dreaming of Fall & Joyous Winter!

It's funny! At least to me!
This works on 2 levels....one, the actual hazards of the icey, not nicey stuff,
And future to past...would you have chosen a different path...maybe one life less hazardous...
Let's see if this gets through.....
