Mick Talbot Poet Free verse

Winter Cold

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside in the winter cold?
Remember to wrap up, keep warm.
If you have a horse, keep it warm, be told!
Intentions, empathy for the needy, make it your norm,
greater now for the homeless, who think they're being bold.
Consider the wildlife, how they might suffer in a storm?
Future?  Well if springtime is not fickle, colourfully gold!
Building hope for summer, the weathermen will us all inform.
