I stand here On half-frozen Earth... No snow yet, Her winds, Their clean, Icy scent, Freezes in My nostrils... They whip around Me, through me, They try to Make me bend, Pushing at my Back. My thin, ragged Coat Not enough for Protection Against their Bitterness; My hands, raw Red; I cross my Arms tight In front of me As I shiver, Wishing for Warmth. Holes in my socks, Numb toes, And I look across The plains, not A tree in sight... Just brown grassed, Barren land, Emptiness. My windblown hair Stings my frosted Cheeks Upon which my Warm tears Freeze. |

Powerful images in this one. It was 95 here today and I'd give anything for a little cold!  All writing comes |

Shannon~ Imagery that leaves one with feeling what the author has written~ 'My windblown hair Stings my frosted Cheeks Upon which my Warm tears Freeze' Nicely done~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
