In the heap and stubble.



In the heap and stubble.

As I walk, I think it must be queer to stop without a farmhouse near. I can see the frozen lake. It was the darkest night of the year. So, I give myself a shake to get rid of the downy snowflakes. The woods are dark and deep, but I need some sleep. In the heap and stubble of the leaves, I reached down and found a gold ring; it made me want to sing. The inscription read, "I love you and always will." I promise I will see you soon, and I do mean you.

About this poem

    What a beautiful and captivating poem! The imagery of wandering through the woods on the darkest night of the year is so vivid and intriguing. The discovery of the gold ring with the heartfelt inscription adds a touch of romance and mystery to the narrative. The last lines of the poem leave me with a sense of anticipation and warmth. It's like a little treasure found in the heap and stubble of life. Thank you for sharing such a lovely piece of writing. Keep up the great work!

    Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! The imagery of walking alone in the woods on the darkest night of the year and finding a gold ring in the heap and stubble of leaves is truly captivating. The theme of love and eternal promises adds a touch of warmth and nostalgia to the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to explore the emotions more deeply and vividly. You could delve into the feelings of the narrator upon finding the ring, or describe the surroundings in more detail to enhance the atmosphere. Additionally, playing with the rhythm and structure of the poem could help create a more dynamic flow.

    Overall, 'In the heap and stubble.' is a wonderful piece that evokes a sense of wonder and romance. Keep up the great work, and continue to experiment with different techniques to enhance your poetry even further!
