Winter Silence

I can hear and feel, the silence, the tinkling, the crunch. And I love the direction; homeward, always homeward.

Muy buen poema,@johnjgeddes, especialmente esas dos últimas estrofas. Hay sonidos. olores y colores particulares del invierno. No solo es el frío en la piel, es el frío en la mirada. Te felicito.

Really nice - captures that static feeling of wintry woodland well. I'm particularly fond of the last two lines which bring figurative and literal closure to the poem. Chill melting towards a kind of warmth.

Nothing like the sound of boots on the snow.! I know when I run in the winter on the snow I love the clear, fresh, cold air, pure silence except for the crunch of the shoe and breathing. You brought it to life! Great write!

In silence profound

There is an eerie stillness in the wintry woods - can be good thinking space too.

I agree - Gordon Lightfoot wrote, it's too silent to be real

I love the winter season. Might be because I have never experienced and just saw it in pictures. Hehe!

The glassy tinkle of icicles
The hiss of wind in the cold…
But also the familiar crunch
Of boots heading home.

And, somehow, that last line sounds warm. :)
