THIRD PLACE out of 35 entries is --

The Winter Blues
---Robert J. Lindley

Winter blew in with a scant little whimper
Fall skulked away with hardly a peep
Deep cold, blowing winds fit some's temper
Yet others they sadden enough to weep!

Snow brings its beauty and shining charms
Frigid air sets furry critters about
Blizzards blasting forth set great alarms
Where frozen forested cries ring out.

Nature knows best and gives as she pleases
Hardest season sets the coming stage
Death and pain, of which Spring then eases
Time for each, says the wizened sage!

Cold chills, hang glisten silent through the night
Decembers solstice sets the stage northbound
Jack Frost pretends to be Earth's white knight
Dark days of winter winds; ice-kiss the ground

Autumn renews chilling barren vows,
Wonderland enables the sun on numb
Icicles form, a voice shared -leaving nature roused
Winter's blue melodies washed down with rum

A cold peril storm, enjoying the winter sky
Frostbitten dawn, desolate sunset of worthlessness
A leafless desire to intensify nature's supply
Loss from exposed skin, of hopelessness
***
Snow, Sleet, and hell; patients needing detox
Atlas Spring gives way to the Viral Equinox

(Robert J. Lindley and Poet Destroyer co-write)

Contest: Collaboration Celebration- subject- Winter Reflections.
Sponsor: Poet Destroyer A

In this collaboration, she (Poet Destroyer) first received my poem -the first half and then wrote the second half to complete the poem .
Judging was done by her and with the blind judging of two other top poets. The points then added up and places awarded.-Tyr

Edit--Additional information.

This shown below was my first submission to her , rejected by Poet Destroyer as being just far too perfect as a complete poem.-Tyr

Return Of The Bright Red Sun
(Red- number one )


The Red Sun had hidden away for some years
no blood red to inspire with glowing sheen
Back again, those fiery red crocodile tears
Love had died, she was only a lonely teen

Dark days, she cried - please give me Light
her sobs fell upon deaf ears- apathy reigned
With no heart, no purpose- no use to fight
Bleeding heart, torn dress and life stained

Hiding in a dark and badly painted room
shadows raced above her small trampled bed
So nasty, a curse repeated about her doom
wishing death, she refused to ever be fed

As sad dark curtains slowly dropped down
blasting forth a wave of Red Sun light
Set aglow, the red rose adorning her gown
Her heart rose to follow this divine sight

For Collaboration Celebration...

p.s.
I simply could not pass up a chance to do this..

Now she will soon send me her part to complete the poem.

edit- update-- This poem deemed to be just too perfect to add to by my collaboration partner. She asked me to write another using Winter as the theme. I did so -she wrote her part....

Update-- contest results for this contest , poem entered was - The Winter Blues, which took 3rd place..

My deep feeling is that had we entered this one(the better poem start) and she wrote to it , first place would have been awarded. However , will never know unless it fits into a future collaboration contest theme by her .--Tyr
