In the Depths of Winter

Hans and Liam caught in the depths of winter
Hans is succumbing cold to the center
He is sharpening his death spades
Do you see the frost giant slowly coming for me
He will cut me asunder with his blades
They're snow drifts a grove with icicles in the trees
I see an army of icy dwarfs all sparkling eyed
Silver blue and fire they breathe
I must disrobe before I burn inside
It is the moonlit snow a cold fog beneath
The snow queen has sent her stinging bees
Her wintery eyes are set on me they do glow gold
There is hope brother there is fire beyond the freeze
and it is only flakes in the wind and not death’s cold

Thanks, Doug. It is not an original idea nor as good as the Erl King but this poem got me interested in poetry, when I was in grade school
