Love In Winter

Love in Winter A winterbed with ice cold feet is hot. These snowy buds outshine the season’s gray. Her shiver lasts - in travels she’s been caught. The blanket’s frost - a wave on chilly days. Her eyelashes, and icicles, so thick. She’s tossed to and fro in the ice queen’s squall. A glacial melt — he’s down — the sea moves...quick — With thunderclaps his chest does rise and fall. Relaxed, refreshed — like peppermint, this glove that fits. Like soft new fallen snow - they glow. Entangled legs in the leggings of love. A wonderland of lips, their drift is slow. This sleigh, a winterbed of midnight dates. The iditarod sun of figure-eights. 7/6/2019 Best sonnet 2019 Poetry Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton howmanysyllables.com used to check syllable count miscounted winterbed as 2 syllables; should be 3 *buds - buddies, companions, friends **winterbed - combo of two words
