That's a whole series of the end of things - end of the grape harvest, end of the warmer weather, and worst of all the end of a relationship with the one who used to share the bed.

I had to pause and ponder; how can one hear snow falling? Only if there's a blizzard and then one hears the wind. I guess that's not important because it all fits together in a wonderful and beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing.

This is utter perfection, Gypsy. At first, I thought all those grapes were skulls over the land. The withered grapes on the vine in the art below is heart-like in appearance.
God bless,
Steve

As I read thus poem, it brought to me a feeling of loneliness and sadness, as seen in the use of withered grapee vines.
Your imagery was strong and the poem well written.
Thank you for sharing.

Another fine poem, Gypsy....fitting poem because except for the wine and the snow outside this poem could have been about me last night, my leg ached something fierce!

This has a theme of coldness running right through the verse. The snow has killed the vines, leaving no wine or any prospect of love to warm the soul. Your choice of colour amplifies the sensation of dark loss and separation. Thanks for sharing this evocative post. Take care Debbie

I love the presentation of this poem. It was very artistic. The poem itself was chilly, yet beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Your poem made me think about the cold nights last winter. Now, it's the opposite. Shorts and a t-shirt with just the sheet pulled up. I used to feel bad for trees losing their leaves. How vulnerable they were to the cold winter winds. Great poem. Gretchen
