This Red Skin

This red skin, whipped by the harshest wintry wind, feels colder than the snow of Iceland; wry thoughts on a gelid night won't relieve my plight! January flee, don't disagree! Running and panting to avoid an avalanche crumbling, I take giant steps to avert danger... while this red skin burns deeper than my anger!

Good word choice attacking the reader with their impact. I liked the poem as a good read. Nicely put, well written with poetic flare. Emile. #7
