Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

I can almost feel the coldness in this poem.  Bare bones..split the sky.  I enjoyed how you gave a standing tree such an authoritative purpose.  I also like how you flipped lash and eye, a clever use of words.  Bravo!

The enjambment in this poem was really interesting it made me read it a few times to really understand the unique flow of the poem. It even got me to read it out loud to myself which made it feel that much more powerful

I agree about the irregular enjambment: I had to read the poem several times to get a feel for it. At first, I thought it was disruptive, but it caused me to slow my pace and analyze the words and their interplay. Well done!

I ‘feel’ the coming winter’s change in your words, I can feel the sting on my face. Well done.

  

A frost thicks the air,

White wisps rise in rings

And give the day’s change.

Bare bones of wood stand

Stark and split the sky.

&amp;#x200B;

All faces passing

Ruddy, the bounty

Of spring woven and

Wrapped ‘round necks to warm.

Winds lash eyes to tears.

&amp;#x200B;

Summer dreams, days long

Departed will return.

Huddle closer in

Grey bliss. The winter

Is now beautiful.
