In Canada

 

this winter is bitter
with temperatures sub zero
and wild howling winds
snow gathering in drifts

snow my only view
bare trees creak, groan
squirrels run searching, searching
birds are hidden, silent

people dress like eskimos
skin can quickly freeze
hands and feet protected
wrapped in hats, scarfs

yet, some go skating
and some go skiing
me, I light fireplace
cuddling with my cat
