Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Winter prowls at the doorstep
Fingers of cold reach through cracks
Solid ice statues shiver 
Icy blasts freeze the gaunt marrow’s soul.

In this scene of starving snow,
Hungry snowflakes on the loose,
Time for warm tomato soup
Grilled cheese sandwiches hot and gooey.
