The Best Modern Poems about Winter

And Winter is ready to start,And the air, like crystal...There is no point in regretting the warmth,What has passed is behind, unfortunately.Summer, sun, sweet raspberry -All this will come to us many more times!For it is not our fault,That time flies by, like a shot...And now - winter is at the door,Warm hands, viburnum tea...The bright moments of Christmas - are already on their way,We are ready, Winter, welcome!

It’s winter outside already,There’s little day: it’s both there and not,Only morning - and evening at once,As if the day has passed in vain.

Outside, it’s snowing and snowing,Something is wrong with the mood...Winter time - like an exam,Who can, will pass!

The animals were very worried,They were not happy, they did not laugh...Where has winter gone?Where did it go, where has it disappeared?

The bunny has a white coat,The squirrel is dressing up too,The weasel has changed as well.But we need a real miracle,

So that the snow lay on the branch,Everyone will be happy in the world.Oh, and the snow is already coming!White bunny, where are you, where?

Winter has come and brought us snow,It has become clean and white outside...Winter rushed in swiftly, like a run-up,With snow clouds above.It's beautiful everywhere, like in a fairy tale,Not too cold, and everything is snowy.So everything is quiet, hidden in the swallows,Winter really brings us fairy tales.All the fir trees are in snowy attire,Like brides who are on display.And the sun's first raysIlluminate the way for this winter.

My winter will be snowy.Oh, let it snow, let it snow...With white-fluffy tendernessHappiness will bloom for us.

I will glow for you,You will glow for meWhere the sun cannot fitIn earthly worlds...

Where the snowstorm whirlsIn the corridors of dreams,I will become your solaceIn the kaleidoscope of days.

Let my heart be cozyAmong the icy souls...Just to know for sure thatI will rise as the sun in you...

Poems about Winter for Adults and Children by Ukrainian Classics

The titmouse hit the window with its wings.The clock stopped. The walls are gray in silence.Over the gray sadness of early winterThe clouds are quiet, like piles of hay.

Sadness floats. The white flamesOf playfully painted firs -They stand, as if in June the linden trees,Wandering into the gray and thick wormwood.

The wormwood of the snows crawls to the horizon,Tickles the horizon with a bitter smell.Fluffy, white, and prickly beesSlowly fly over it...

In the buckets, icy circles ring.The village is in snow, and the path does not move.The old pear breathes on the fingers,It probably dreams of full handfuls of pears.

It dreams of clouds and July storms,Someone’s soul, transparent, by the candle.And the windows sleep, frost has mourned on them.The roguish ones flew off into the flock.

A chimney has choked with rain and snow,And the fence fell, for what is the purpose?An old memory lives in that house,In summer, it sits under the pear.

And the house, and the fence, and the pear in the yard,And the black currants here and there,All remember themselves in their best time.And the path, on which only snow goes...

Snow, snow pours around.And the whiteness of gardens in May.Only the bare one criesUnder the cold wind, the elder.

Only the children took out the sledsAnd, stomping their heels on the snow,Rush, happy, to meet spring,Scattering happy laughter.

(Author: Vasyl Symonenko)

The lake sleeps, the forest and the reeds.The willow whispered all: "Sleep, sleep..."And I dreamt all white dreams:On silver glimmered bright gemstones.Unknown grasses and flowers laid down,Sparkling, white... Quiet, gentle starsFell from the sky - white, opaque -And lay in the tents... White, pureUnder the tents. Bright pearlFrom crystal plays and sparkles everywhere -I slept. Breathing so freely my lungs.In white dreams, rosy thoughtsLightly embroidered nets,And dreams were woven blue-golden,Calm, quiet, not like summer...

(Author: Lesya Ukrainka (excerpt from the drama “Forest Song”)

***

Once, I put on my boots,Put on my fur coat,Harnessed myself in the sledAnd went for a fir tree.

I barely managed to cut it down,Barely started to take the fir,When a bunny jumped to me - jump!I started to take the fir away

I here, and he there."I won’t give it, - he shouts, - for anything!You plant the fir,And then cut down, lazybones.

I won’t give it and don’t ask!And you can play with trinkets.

You will chop down the forests, -Nowhere to hide.

And in the forest, everywhere are wolves,And bears, and foxes,And crows, and jackdaws,And the robbers are the tits"

It got scary... "Oh, let go,Don’t hold me by the coat!Poor bunny, forgive me!I won’t ever do this again!"

Low, low I bowedAnd took off my hat even lower...The bunny smiled happilyAnd reached out his gray paw.
