    Beautiful poem / Very evocative: "How thick the bursts come crowding through the leaves!
    Again—thou hearest?
    Eternal passion!
    Eternal pain!"

    Beautiful poem! Have to change perspective as January is the hottest month here.

    "PASSING away, saith the World, passing away". Passing away by Christina Georgina Rossetti

    I see what you mean by declaring the seasons from being in the Northern hemisphere by default might radically change the point of view and meaning of a poem... even your offering may be guilty. I'm nearly always guilty of this, but did make one concession with my poem "The Phlyarology of the Apanthropinizator
    " from 3/21/2022. Here's one from the web that seems to be hemisphere neutral -

    Liked the neutral poem!
    re: It was just a comment, not a criticism. Itīs just a funny feeling, when I read about an icy January. But, of course, the poets will usually write according to their location.

    The poet was a surprise: "Rome! what a scroll of History thine has been". Urbs Sacra Aeterna, Oscar Wilde
    "I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

    Enjoyed the homage to Rome the city and its history. Did not know he was a poet.

    Beautiful! Didnīt think Poe could write something so serene.

    Beautiful poem by Emily to her Brother.

    Wilde's poem is both tragic and hopeful... the things he had to endure.
