winter – Oskar Leonard

Frost In Summer

This is just a quick little poem today – I’m not really sure where the inspiration came from, except perhaps the cold weather outside, but I hope you enjoy this little bundle of contradictions melded with some deeper truths. They are hidden in there somewhere, I promise!

Look At A Book: Intricacies Inked In Ice

Just in time for the colder weather, we’re taking a closer look at my winter-inspired poetry collection today, Intricacies Inked In Ice! This collection is full of poetry inspired by the natural world in winter, with icy landscapes and chilly atmospheres.

Love Between Fire And Ice

I have another poem from that upcoming project that I’ve mentioned before in one of these blog posts for you today. It’s a rather long one, by my current standards for the poems I’ve been writing recently, but the concept intrigued me on a walk home recently and it’s been burning – unintentional pun – away in my head for a while, so here’s the poem.

For Someone

This is actually a poem that I worked on in one of my university workshops, so I’ve edited it more than I usually would and received some interesting feedback on it. I know that university has really put a stop to a lot of my plans for my writing and books, but this poem might be part of a project that I hope will signify me getting back to my ‘author feet’, in a way. In any case, I hope that you enjoy it today!

Away, On The Chill Of The Wind

Before we completely leave winter, I thought I’d write a little flash fiction piece inspired by it. If you’re looking for a quick read which blends relationships and the cold together, you’re in the right place. It’s not exactly happy, but I thought that it was almost morbidly beautiful while writing it. Hope you enjoy–or perhaps ‘enjoy’ is the wrong word. Either way, here it is!
