Fin Chuuk Poet Free verse

Baby It Is Cold Outside

I can hear the mouthless wind, 
loudly howling outside my window.
Its wingless unseeable form whipping through the leafless trees.
Ridding the branches wildly,
blowing falling flakes onto every available space, 
and covering them in whites, 
giving them admirable shapes. 

Oh what a magical sight to gaze upon indeed.
And although I happily enjoyed watching the snow soundlessly gliding down,
kissing the ground softly and forming beautiful landscapes, 
the harshness wind is toothlessly bitting through my bones with its frigid coldness.

So I think it’s time to turn up the fireplace for some heat to my chilled bones,
and maybe a cup of delicious hot cocoa to warm my soul.

Because
baby it is cold outside…


Fin Chuuk

Darlene De Beaulieu May 14, 2023 at 11:13 AM Hello Fin, yes if it is that cold outside it is best to stay inside . But if you were outside warm up with a cup of coca. Your friend , /darlene\

Bj Legros Kelley May 13, 2023 at 9:35 PM Fin, this is amazing, you so captured the bitter cold, and painted entire scenes, sounds, and memories for me! Well, winter is passed, enjoy the warmth of the coming months. Thank you so much for your visit to my poem, and your comment. I'm happy to meet you :)

Sotto Poet May 6, 2023 at 9:58 PM Fin, I really enjoyed how the frigid; wintry backdrop is juxtaposed with the warm and inviting elements of the fireplace and the mugs of hot cocoa. Incredibly well done.

Evelyn Judy Buehler May 6, 2023 at 11:18 AM I love the pleasant contrast between the cold, wintry scene and the coziness of the fire and hot cocoa, Fin. Excellent work. :)

Sara Kendrick May 6, 2023 at 4:12 AM I like the feelings and emotions captured in this work. Way to go. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

Victor Buhagiar April 22, 2023 at 1:40 AM The song is one of my favorites. Well composed.

Joseph P. DiMino April 15, 2023 at 6:47 PM Excellent read! Felt the sting of cold to the bone. Sometimes I get overdone with the desert heat, but when the cooler season comes, after a few weeks I honestly start missing 115 degrees. The old bones don't tolerate cold too well anymore.

Valsa George April 14, 2023 at 4:25 AM So sweet a sensation it will be to sit close to the hearth on a winter day and sip a cup of delicious hot cocoa. Well done Fin

Andrea Dietrich April 12, 2023 at 1:23 PM So descriptive and an enjoyable and soothing read.

Heidi Sands April 12, 2023 at 10:45 AM I really like this one. I do know how pretty the snow is to watch, yet how cold it gets with the wind. I can relate to your fireplace, with having a woodstove. You have shown the contrast well. I like the comfort you bring forth in the poem :)

Speaks Volumes April 11, 2023 at 11:02 PM This is truly beautiful Fin, such beautiful poetry. Well done Fin Chuuk April 12, 2023 at 9:54 AM Hi you, thank you :)

Alexis Y. April 2, 2023 at 8:57 PM Hi Fin, First of all, I must say your title alone grabbed my attention. It reminded me of the song with the same name. When I started to read the poem you didn't disappoint. You have did a fine job describing this cold season. Your last four lines summed up this write very well. Enjoy the rest of your evening:-) Alexis Fin Chuuk April 3, 2023 at 2:39 PM Hello Alexis, I’m so happy you enjoyed this one. Made me smile :) Thank you so much dear friend. ~ Fin

Paul Callus April 2, 2023 at 2:54 AM We get cold but no snow here in Malta, Fin, but in spite of that I still enjoy reading poems such as yours. Your end line takes me back in time when Dean Martin had a hit with the same title... Regards // paul Fin Chuuk April 3, 2023 at 2:35 PM Yea, I do have the same one line as him. Not that I want to copy him, it just so happens that it really was cold. Lol. Thank you, Paul.
