A beautiful and interesting creation...

The water is cold to the eye As the wind to the cheek. ~ fantastical poetic expression

Wow!

To me, it is like the poet is still in his learning stage or rather his experimental stage- -flashes of beautifully penned lines followed by the awkwardness of these phrases: Is like a scattering of gold and Too-hoo, this is brave;

Clever use of onomatopoeia - Musical as well as pictorial affect has been put and poem is fantastically put to the reader- galloping wind / lemon-yellow afternoon sunlight/gold crocus-petals finally- Even the cold wind is seeking a new mistress. very nice
