A cold wind whistled through the trees.
Ice was getting thick on the pond nearby

Good descriptive poetry capturing the essence of cold winter night. The smell of firewood overpowers all other smells suggesting extreme and harsh winter. Thanks for sharing.
I say he finds death - - - - - if he goes to the top of the hill to meet the wolves! The dog in the picture doesn't look like the kind who would do that. I say let him in and share the dinner with him. Enjoyed the poem. I love the outdoors.
Yes, that would be the best choice. I once had a dog that would go and ring the neighbor's doorbell.
Bust out the figgy pudding! ! ! ! and hot dogs... very nice, love the nome d'plume 2
Thanks. I don't understand nome d'plume (2) . The Google explanations were all in a foreign language.

Spock, I like this poem very much! Your descriptive words convey the feeling of a cold winter night very well. I only wish you would find a different last line. A friend of mine, living in the high mountains of Colorado years ago prayed on Christmas eve for a baby brother or a puppy. She didn't care which. There was a scratching noise at the door, they opened it and found a dog! It became her dear friend. So I would say the dog found a new life.
Thanks much. Someone told me that suspense was good in poems. I will think about changing the last line or adding a verse or two.
I have added a verse and rearranged the other verses. I think you will like it better. If not...
