Cold Poem by Mary Champion

Cold!
Ice and icebergs,
ice sheets, ice floes.
Frosty mornings,
bitter wind blows.

Cold!
Snow and snow drifts,
blizzard blinding.
Frosted windows,
wan sun shining.

Cold!
Heartless nature.
brutal, biting.
iron earth all
uninviting.

Cold!
Pull on mittens,
pile on sweaters.
Hats and scarves will
insulate us.

Cold!
Turn the heat up,
pull the blinds down,
take it easy,
time to wind down.

Warm!
Snug beneath your
winter duvet-
hibernate - it's
quite the best way.
