My Winter

Endless Winter As coldness crept into me I withdrew a gray-dim world welcoming frozen youth childhood’s icy death leafless limbs clawing a fractured wall crystal tears shattering an echoless silence numbness seizing the soul anger howling at the core of an endless winter. ©11/18/2017 submitted to – MY Winter – Poetry Contest

This is gold star poetry, John! Great lines ... childhood'a icy death ... howling at the core of an endless winter. Brilliant, soul expressive free verse. Aurora bright write. Pure poetry. Listening to a celestial soul song, "Hypnotic Love" by Maysa while reading this visceral, gritty poem. Love and joy always.
