Flakes fall soundlessly
The world is silent now
Pine needle boughs are bending
Laden with heavy snow
Smokey coils looming over houses
You get the firewood
The wood stove has its supper
And I am making mine
Raindrops roll glittering
The sky is darker now
Bubbling coffee pot is brewing
Cuddling beneath a throw
Steaming coils looming over cups
You get the firewood
The fire's in its place
And I am making mine
Babes sleep heavily
The house is quiet now
Chests are rising and falling
They are stirring to and fro
Dreams coil looming over heads
You get the firewood
The hearth makes a glow
And they are making mine
Leaves fall gracefully
The branches are barer now
Sweet childhood laughter echos
Happy leaves made low
Windy coils looming over ground
You get the firewood
The campfire's heart ignites
And my family lights mine

A very heartwarming poem perfect for a winter’s day “you get the firewood”
A lovely poem Meagan. So happy to have shared your words.
Hi there Megan I haven’t read your work before but I am so fortunate to have discovered you via Vocal + Assist. Having read three times now, I feel a dreamy trance of peacefulness. Your refrains anchor the rhythm and beauty of a poem. I have Subscribed and very much look forward to reading more. Pauline 🌸
The imagery in this was so peaceful, going to save it to read to my babies at christmas 💖 This would make a gorgeous childrens book with some illustrations 💞
Such a heartwarming and wonderful poem. I loved it!
Brilliant and beautiful!! Loving it💕💖
This is a great poem! I could feel the comfort.
Excellent imagery!
Dude...Mike is HAULING that firewood. I love this piece. I definitely feel the comfort in this. Well done!
The repetition feels nice and drowsy. It really is evocative of nodding comfortably off to sleep by crackling, flickering firelight, as snow falls outside.
Lovely!
