The North Wind The north wind has struck again Imprisoned my soul to hold With icicles that bar the den Frozen by a blast of cold. It chills me without remorse Iced me to the very bone Blew the sun, way off its course Left me blue and all alone. It drains desire out of me Like a women's nip of scorn To sorrow me with ennui To wish that I was never born. The north wind has opened its door To a whirlwind of deadly ire And all I hear is raging roar That burns me with its icy fire. Changing summers gold lame By powers of dominion To diamond snow flakes souffle And I am cold beyond opinion. Dear love come melt this icy bowl And bring the sun to warm my soul. |

Now I know why I've lost my sense of direction, I've not been on course for a few weeks now! Glad to know your posting signs along the way, Sy!  Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I'll build you a fire to warm your toes I'll brew some tea(raspberry)to warm your nose I'll knit you a sweater to warm your shoulders I'll throw a log on the fire as the wind blows colder Let that old wind blow and ring those chimes we'll sit by the fire and pen summertime rhymes  *winkiewinkie* later-sweet-souffle-gator jm |

I always look for winter poems - and yours made my hair stand up on end - a really unusual happening for hair that modestly covers my derriere - well, actually, it didn't all stand on end, but I could feel every hair on my head raising - such feeling! Such a story! Well worded, and excellent! Thanks for sharing! |
