Winter

Winter Winter, devastation after the fall, Imposition of Arctic Law Naked landscapes, souls bared, Trembling in terrored torture Enshackled in ice crystal chains. Remorseless warmth awaiting rescue. 9/29/2014 For Charlotte Puddifoot Seasonal Acrostic Poetry Contest

I really liked this one from the first time I read it, and I couldn't quite decide whether to give it a 2nd or 3rd...I received many winter poems but few of them portrayed the harsher side of the season, so this was unique in that way; I liked the alliteration you used as well - congrats on your win in my contest

Also wanted to say how clever the symbolism of this one was.
