I knew what it was the moment I felt it blackberry winter fable I had heard yet never seen a time of cold seduction wind shivered its way past my ears I reached for something warmer found myself exposed shy elm in front of my window stripped herself stood naked arms reaching skyward undone and proud clouds darkened thinned blew chilly breath licked frost on my lips ice giggled at my front door crunching underfoot threatening me with a fall I laughed back unafraid don't you know I can fall no farther |

"I reached for something warmer found myself exposed" amazing. I live in Southern California too, and it's cold here... well, at least for us. This poem makes it worth it. Thanks for writing. |

Now there is a new term. Never heard that before. Not 'uphere' in Canada. It has been down to -30 deg. C. Thus, no berries. Those make me think of bears. Hopefully, those are 'high-bear-nating' now. LOL. Thank you for the warming thought of berries... CG |

Milady Kate, I love the personifications here that bring to life the wintery scenes and makes me feel them, rather than just see. A truly magical dream write. MoonShadow . |
