Gershon Wolf Poet Alliteration

Winter's Whipsaw Wares

Winds whip and whistle
past bark of branches bare
collar-cringing cold
winter's whipsaw wares

Frozen faces, fingers
tingling, trembling toes
shivers, shakes, sunken eyes
signal endless woes

A-howling and a-knocking
the nasty night unnerves
the gentle dreams of lovers
nestled in their curves
