Erzurum is a city with cold weather and warm people. As we transition directly from summer to winter these days, we present this poem about Erzurum for your enjoyment.
It's freezing here now
My dream is far away, in the warmth
My hands are numb, uselessly trembling
My body is close to freezing
Snowflakes have settled on my very being
Street lamps blink hopelessly
People before dawn breaks
Hope is just to live humanly
Happy people seem to be left in fairy tales
How quickly the trees shed their leaves
Crushed and fallen yellow leaves
As the sun rises over the icy ridge
At least five months left until summer
No matter where you look, it's very cold
Dressed in her white wedding gown, how absurd
Walk carefully, mind your step, don't slip and fall
Cars zigzag on the slippery roads
Sait Çıkrıkçı - 12.12.2025 Strange poem, strange poet, strange reader Wolves emerge from the lambs You'll see it pass in these days Whether you want it or not, your feelings will fade
