Best Bone Chilling Cold Poems

In November I write of winter
  for I am weary of the old year and tired bones
I visualize all hardships blanketed with fresh snowfall
geese in a "V" as they flee on trade winds to the south
season's celebrations, toasting in the new year
senior couples delighting...

ASP OF GRIEF

She buries her head upon this asp of grief —
soft with reptilian fangs, hard with poison.
Her covetous husband lies upon the Nile’s reef.
She holds her abdomen in her arms - his son.

with lunar belly...
the shape of her husband’s seed
...a fateful eclipse

The pit with...

pitch black ...
like ink ... or drowning in oil
only she could breathe
barely ...
heart thrumming in her ears like tympani
it was all she could hear
thankfully ...
she had awakened from dreaming
a good dream, too
(though it was now gone from memory)
laying on her left side
she had first felt...

   Bone-chilling cold for a week

      Sun won't play hide-and-seek

         Life sure is bleak...

A sweet flower's funeral
displayed in the cold months
of snowy weather and bone chilling shivers.
A sweet flower burned away, dried up;
buried six feet under.

Oh, my sweet flower,
how you once bloomed with no remorse,
like a madman blooming with beauty
and a glorious halo over your head
shinned with such...

Death By Murder: 

Murky water left to drink 
floating particles of death. 

Erie presence leaves discontent. 
As something wicked floats in it. 

The bone chilling cold wind doth blow 
off Lake Erie with flurry snow. 

Late at night off cold dark shores 
shadows of a...

A Renga:


It feels like summer
Even though it's October
And leaves have fallen

Night shadows in the garden
And the waxing gibbous moon

A 3-4 time dance
Mixed with memories of youth
Whispered in the room

That first love always lingers
And also the first breakup

After the north wind
A day of bone chilling cold
With...

With the opening of my fortress cell,
solemn-faced men come locust invading in
Their mouths smile not, and eyes neither grin
as ceremonial words pursed lips expel
A deer thought escapes ... my life nears its end!
And I feel the cold October Halloween Day wind
blast unrelenting upon my pale...

Heavy buckets of rain..
Falling from the sky
An explosion of heavy downpours..
A cold chilling night ..
feeling the bone chilling cold..

The sound of pouring rain is a safe haven..
When indoors..
Warm and cozy at home..
Homebound for the night..
Feeling a sense of security..
Dreading the moment of departure..
Departing from my...

Bone chilling cold gone
Idle trees stretch stiff limbs gently
Hush-din of budding...

When I was diagnosed with end stage renal disease.
Trust me I was not pleased.
I was looking for someone to blame.
I took this so serious because I knew that this was not a game.
I had to change my lifestyle.
For months on my face there was not...

The Wind

Within the air there is a gentle breeze that kisses your cheek 
Slightly turning your head to feel this wondrous mystique 
Gusts gently move all flora and fauna in a mystical dance
As if all of creation is intuitively aware of this circumstance 

Outside my...

Standing on the frozen water, underneath the turquoise plain,

Temperature not getting hotter, chills set in and ease the pain.

Problems of your prior self, discarded at the price of health.

Peoples problems of today, vain and solemn, so cliche.

Imagine a desolate waste, bone chilling cold like that...

Into the fog I fell,
amidst the bone chilling cold,
caterwauled by silence -
eerily the end
of the year, dismal.

With the call of a forefinger,
I float through the mist,
silence switches
to a whisper,
rays appear through the haze.

Into the cradle I amble,
dizzy from 2024 strange happenings.
Lemons and apples fill the...
