Grey Wind

Low and heavy
Fierce and bone chilling
Swaying against the skies silhoutte

Grey wind into the breath
Life remains
Trembling

Fur parka around the face
Masked, unrecognisable
Chilled and stiff
Frost bit nose

You have accentuated the winter cold in this one to the degree that I will have to go and get some hot cocoa. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Mom

Very "chilling" description of life in the North, Doris. But I'd trade a sunburn for a little "frost bit nose" anyday. Your descriptions are very vivid. Enjoyed hearing about life in your area during winter. Love, Carolyn
