Poetry / While Floral Sleeps

The patter of rain
On fallen leaves
Reminder winter draws nigh.
Burning wood fragrance
Entwined with the flames
Ballet before our eyes.
In warmth we nestle
No words spoken
Our bodies echo our thoughts.
The year’s labor ending
Ushers love’s occasion
All while the floral sleeps.

Very warm. Love the image of fire. Is there a way to get us to smell the wood instead of refering to it as burning wood fragrance?

I like the poem. Its simple but poetic to the point. I dont understand the use of dictum though in poem. I understand the word but it seems a bit much for such a nice and pleasant poem. good work overall though.

I like it, but the word “snuggle” doesn’t seem to fit with the overall tone of the piece.

The “ballet” part is the best.  This reminds me of Robert Frost with a free verse touch.  I like this quite a bit.  I would leave it as is.

I like the poem, but think the first two lines could be stronger. They are good images, I just don’t like how they read.

I really love the way the poem sets up a cozy atmosphere! My favorite line is “ballet before our eyes” describing the fire.
