I'm Bahareh Rafati, an Iranian student getting my Masters at Alzahra University in Tehran. I was born in Iran on March 22, 1994 but I moved to America when I was 7. We came back to Iran when I was 14, and I have been living in Tehran ever since.
The following poem has not been published.
Winter went and Winter came
Winter went round and round again
Winter was and Winter is
Winter-some and Winteresque
Winter came and Winter went
It has Wintered and will Winter again
Winters always play a game
But this Winter was not the same
Winter came and Winter stayed
It froze my heart and broke my aim
Forevermore a Wintered being
Captured and no longer fleeing
