Winter Rules

Winter Winds

Here comes the wind

Not the balmy wind of Spring

Not the sweaty wind of Summer,

Not the vigorous wind of Fall

Winter rules with biting grasp

Tangling around throat

Bitter fingers of ice steal breath

With every exhilation

Sidewalks and roads slick as glass

Waiting till a pale sun arrives

To melt it all

  Thanks! Here in Florida I have to use some very old memories to write about ice and snow!

    We’ve hit as low as 10 here in Missouri lately.

Our lake froze over – first time I’ve ever seen one! … The wind off that much ice was … impressive!

A frozen lake must be a very pretty site, clean glittery white.
