Notes About The Poem

Imagination is essential to see the many versions of this poem. You might read it twice to let it sink in. A mystery? Not really, OLD MAN WINTER is a charactor just like you and me and others around us. Doctors, Lawyers, Bankers, Polititions, Oligarchs, Special Interest groups, those wielding power over society.I hope it opens eyes and inspire others to write.

Winters Force

OLD MAN WINTER IS INCREDIBLY COLD.
HE HAS NO REGRET OR SO I AM TOLD.

IN HIS OWN WAY HE SHOWS OFF HIS POWERS.
HIS FIERCEST DISPLAY CAN LAST MANY HOURS.

OLD MAN WINTER RULES WITH A FORCE,
EXTREME CONDITIONS OF UNLIMITED SOURCE.

THOSE WHO DARE STAND IN HIS WAY,
HAVE NO CHOICE EXCEPT TO PAY.

OLD MAN WINTER IS NOT VERY NICE.
HE WANTS YOU TO PAY AND PAY WITH YOU LIFE.

HE BELIEVES THERE'S SOMETHING, ABOUT YOUR SOLE.
THAT CONTRIBUTES TO HIS FORCE OF COLD
