Loneliness Is The Longest of Seasons



"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."
~Mark Twain


Linking with Poetry Jam


Spring is like a lover
 that kisses you on the lips.
While summer is a brother
 that hits you with a fist.
Then autumn is a sister
you want to remain close.
Yet lonely's name is winter
that come to leave you all alone.

  8. Very nice blog photo. Winter is the season of gloom but Mark Twain is right it all depends on what is happening in your life at the moment.

  10. A loneliness of a kind that allows a respite from wilds encountered earlier. Winter is a period of reflection to prepare for the year ahead! Nicely Carrie!

  14. Well, the Twain quote is marvelous! ANd winter.... well, I find it nice as we all "hibernate" together a bit more. But I do know that the opposite can be true. I loved the comparison to relationships. Nice.

  18. Carrie,

    I love your poem which seems to hit the mood exactly as per each season...Winter can be rather depressing for those living alone.
    I like your seasonal banner photo, which warms the heart!!
    Best Wishes,
    Eileen:)
