Cold, Cold Winter

It wields misery like a knife. And there's no magic wand to be waved To make it fade into oblivion. It leaves me suddenly hankering For the halcyon days of summer. There isn't enough warmth saved It's chillingly cold, and I can't shake my incessant shivering 'Tis a cold, cold winter. Brutal as can be, and summer seems far away Oh, how it keeps hovering in the air like a flickering hummingbird Days are quite long. Time, as still as the snow covering my doorway Am I supposed to grin and bear it? Carry on day after day undeterred? It wields misery like a knife. The gust of wind it blows is terrible I wish for rain to rid the onslaught of snow, it's white hue is blinding Is this winter at it's angriest? The misery it has unleashed is insufferable Rays of afternoon sun shall dissolve it sooner than later, I'm hoping I yearn for spring, in all its glory. It will arrive before long, I pray Cold, cold winter, please, please, please; finally be on your way WK 2 MARCH 2019,ANY FORM,ANY THEME,UPTO A MAX OF 20 lines Sponsored by Brian Strand (Winner: 1st Place) Date written and posted: 03/26/2016
