Clouds, Snow and Mistletoe


Clouds, snow and mistletoe
Hidden in every soul.

Revealed when the time is right
Be it morning, noon or night.

Clouds are dreamy, this is true,
Though it may seem to you.

Yet they are real, both in and out.
Some cast no shadows, some cast doubt.

Clouds sometimes carry dreams
Making reality not what it seems.

Clouds are a necessary thing, you know
For they bring relief, rain and snow.

Sad is the cloud in the heart.
Needing the sunshine to start -

The heart singing along the line.
Of the daily passing of humankind.

It is true that snow is cold
But snowflakes fun to hold.

Winter only is when it appears
Earths sleeping blanket for the year.

Snow on the heart makes for a chilling depose
For whom it touches, likewise is its repose.

Mistletoe, ah, mistletoe how sweet
Symbol of love, yet dangerous to eat.

Giving love is its lowly application
From lips to lips in sweet supplication.

So you see, things could be really bad
Making the heart cold and really sad,

But if you begin with the heart of love,
Nevermore will winter shove

The sunshine from your heart and soul
Confusing clouds and snow and mistletoe.

Good poem. My Fav. line: Mistletoe, ah, mistletoe how sweet
Symbol of love, yet dangerous to eat. ... I had a chuckle when i read this.

I felt that at times you were stretching to keep with the poem...you seem to be a good poet, so maybe re-read it and cut it down a bit. you have very powerful lines in the poem...and a few less powerful ones...i think that in this case-less is more.

for example:
"It is true that snow is cold
But snowflakes fun to hold". .....maybe not needed
the following line : "Winter only is when it appears
Earths sleeping blanket for the year."....is VERY good.....I like the use of Blanket to describe winter.

Not sure about this line: Snow on the heart makes for a chilling depose
For whom it touches, likewise is its repose."... mabye because the ending words are awkward.

In: "So you see, things could be really bad
Making the heart cold and really sad,"...I would switch the placement of the word be....and make the line "so you see, things could really be bad"....once again- just a thought

In this line: "Yet they are real, both in and out.
Some cast no shadows, some cast doubt."....I would omit the NO in "cast no shadows"....i think it would flow better...or add the word NO to "cast (no) doubt" making it consistent (but thats just me)

all in all....i really did enjoy your poem. I only take the time to give thoughts to poems i like....so please take no offence.
