Great Outdoors

it's teeth
some jaw around 
my head, biting
baiting an air beast
wintering wind
anaconda squeeze
of miserly monsters
that I'm dragging
as I walk and wings
whose tips stipple 
cheeks, reddening
through slow-mo
torture but somehow
that winter stroll
hidden critters galore 
is a glorious break
beckoning staleness
from stolid afternoons

Nice calm fall afternoons are really nice especially so as compared to a something with its teeth and jam around my head. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Winter wind always gives me pain literally. You have a way with words and expressing very creatively. I love your word choices and also the flow as well as the alliterations. Especially love the line “ critters galore is a glorious break“ and “ anaconda squeeze of miserly monsters“ powerful! Pleasure always reading you. Sending you light always
