Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Dark Days of Winter

Deep dark dreary days of winter
Frozen moments immersed in cold
It grasps and clutches all within reach
Freezing the inner bowels deep within
Barren roots forbidden to breathe
Bitter cold encases gives a squeeze
Winters grip covers sleeping growth
White dust creates icy dunes
Darkness appears early on the horizon
Cold, unyielding,harsh twilight hours
In the deep dark dreary days of winter.
