Snowy Night

When I heard you were on the road,
I thought I wouldn't have cared.
Yet when I heard snow was here,
My heart started swaying its tail
As its body grows cold in the sea.

During the course of dinner,
I asked many times
Whether the road would be too wet.
As I sat in my ride to home,
I wondered if I should phone.

Finally, I dialed up your cell.
The only voice I heard was your answering machine.
My eyes were on the road
Yet my heart was miles away
Wishing I was there for you.

On a snowy night, I'm missing you.
On a snowy night, may peace go with you.

You have captured emotional depth at its best.  When I read this, I feel concern and sadness - as though I am experiencing the words personally.  Good job.

It's so sad when someone we care for is out in bad weather and we can't get in touch with them.
You wrote of this feeling very well.
Hugs~

I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.

I think poetry is what it is because of what the poet "sees".  It doesn't matter how rediculous one's words may seem to some - what matters is that the reader can relate to how the words make him/her feel.  Poetry is metaphor in most cases.  In my experience, almost always.  Please, continue to write what you "see" in your heart and mind for that is what makes you a poet.  I am interrested to know if your friend writes.
Poetry is made of many colors, never be afraid to let yours shine!
Your friend,
Shereen.
