Analysis of On the First Day of Winter
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
The first day of Winter
On the first day of winter,
The wind blew right through me.,,
I hadn’t even raised a Christmas tree.
On the second day of winter, it suddenly struck me ;
This wasn’t about Christmas but advancement into history.
On the third day of winter, the weather brought a chill;
The substance from the day was nil.
On the fourth day of winter, my garden finally froze;
The ice cast a reflective glaze like a shroud upon my rose.
On the fifth day of winter, the ground began to freeze.
The issuing precipitation made walking or talking ill at ease,
On the sixth day of winter, I ‘d felt I’d had enough..,
This misery descending upon me had begun to be just too way too tough.
On the seventh day of winter, I’d raised myself from gloom.
I’d watched my garden struggle snd even a new blossom bloom.
On the 8th day of winter, what more nature have said?
Whatever’s nature is either in the process of dying or is already dead.
