Winter Comfort

Coldness harbors no regret
Windows frosted, calm chill set
Branches iced, their sleep past due
Grey skies warn, storm so true
Red of cardinal, blue of jay
Tea and fire, warmth I pray
Water frozen in the river
Run strong, so deep a shiver
Green of pine, rich scent of which
A faded dream, a fevered pitch
Memory shall not be found
Yet in the mountains, where snows abound
I miss the spring, some sort of debt
Still, coldness harbors no regret

i think this is a lovely little poem, with a good flow...can i offer a couple of suggestions that i think would improve it still further? firstly, it's couplet form, not prose, and it would benefit the poem to introduce some punctuation and do away with the capitals at the start of every line (they should only come after a full stop, question mark, etc) hope this is helpful advice!
