Winter

White-haired witch of winter whipping 
icy blades cutting paths into the face.

A million flakes glaze a blue iced brain
the heart writhes about as if on fire.

Where does the glow of youth reside 
beneath a ton of blue rippled sun.

but this is no time to quilt- to grow stiff
it is a time to water flowers of the mind.

Build a crown of bloom around the soul
to melt these endless-hellish snows.

Excellently penned gem. Fourth and fifth are special. Can you kindly tell me what form you'd like for 'Self Inflicted' poetry contest. Peace and blessings galore.
