Sonnet 2: Can anything be colder than winter?
Can anything be colder than a day
When clouds of winter make the sun’s embrace
Become a shadow of its former grace
And summer’s verdure gives in to decay;
When snow like burial garments shrouds the hay,
Bleak nature trudges with a mournful pace;
The winter’s gusts make sharp cuts on the face
With blades concealed, as though designed to flay?
Yet, when

First Encounter
Fierce winds blow across the Atlantic tide,
Colder she gets the rougher she'll ride,
In matt'r minutes a chill to the bone,
Few dare sail her northern zone,
Far north the whaling be done,
Colder in account for the miss'n sun,
The currents below just twist and swell,
Above her frozen by a northenly gale,
Sails drawn, busting through crests,
A captain in hope

It's A Winter Colder Than The Others
It's a winter colder that the others
we lived yesterday, never thinking of any sadness;
our winters were mild and we wanted snow
to hug each other closer and watch it fall!
It remained a wish we made by an open window:
wasn't the quite evening a vivid recall?
I stand outside frozen as a lonely snowman
and wait for your warm

And Colder Felt the Chill
That night amidst cries, clamours, din,
When coffin scandal headlines claimed,
We shuddered— such was stench of sin,
Those in snow felt ash grey, ashamed,
In sullied caskets feeling ill,
But lay still, stunned, shocked by surprise
Their valour frost, vain felt their will,
Frost bitten, battered, somewhat wise,
Those done to death but not

Colder
She is colder than
Most with emotions.
With her it's just going
Through the motions.
Her womanly ways and
Perfect figure.
No hesitation when she
Pulls the trigger.
Her tan skin and
Dark eyes.
BEWARE! A word
To the wise.
Her full lips,
Her long fingernails.
She is 100%
Bone-a-fide female.

Turning Colder
Familiar storm - stampeding, impeding,
drawing in colder days, lighting up
monotone skies, winterizing holiday rise.
Thoughts of yesteryear - their existence
unclear, relegating nonsensical notions,
subjugating my mind - celebrating life.

This Rain Colder Than Snow
This rain colder than snow beats
on the lonely poet's heart sadder than
a hummingbird deserted by all;
are his tears less human, less tender
than anyone imprisoned by loneliness?
Hasn't he loved enough, hasn't he consoled
souls in times of solitude, where's his reward?
Heaven was above his head shielding him, and Hell
in front of him tempting his thoughts to steadily

The Dry Ice of November
The Dry Ice of November
David J Walker
There was
once a time
dead leaves devoid of pallor
Were raked into a
a mound of pyre
Great heaps dissolved
In a funeral fire
Releasing the last of
What they were
Into the Autumn air
The scent of
dry November
from a distance
announced everywhere
Then
The cold
Seemed that much
Colder
And the November sun
Much less

Colder
I constrict and recoil from the bitterly cold wind
The sun so bright it hurts through the clear sky
Soft melancholy music bounces from the perfect acoustics
And I drink my despair ravenously as I cry
My winter's pain is almost too much today
Profound sadness shoves me violently,
tearing my old sweater
scuffing my worn shoes
I mutter some passive nonsense

The World Keep Getting Colder and Colder
The world keeps getting colder and colder
I never knew it hard to be human
I never knew life could be
this bitter for too many
innocent minds
we has lost to ignorance
trying to catch our fears
while we wither like a
faded Ross in our illusion
in the garden of fresh flowers
we are down to earth

A Colder Surface In Your Space
You saw what I saw
You saw what I did
I’m not asking for applause
I’m not asking for you to forgive
You witness through the night
And in the hours of daylight
But do you know how I feel?
Even though you see me live
Do you listen to my mind?
Do you see the fear inside?
You’ve always been that light
Shining through the

Colder Than a Snowman
I live in a wooden house
I cannot turn on the fireplace
’cause I may burn the walls
Winter has already come
and the snow covered my garden
and cold froze the neighbor’s water well
I look through the window
and wait for you to come home
I’m so cold and I can’t feel
the blood in my veins
you know, I’m not one
of those

Don'T Be Colder Than the Winter Snow
We met in early summer
when roses were blooming,
and all we thought of was being
in love more than any other!
People look at us and clearly see:
what they had once in their grasp and heartbeats,
but they lost it to uncertainty
without the scented wind's breath on their cheeks!
Don't walk in bright moonlight so sadly,
forgetting

The Colder the Winter the Warmer the Spring
The colder the winter the warmer the spring,
Where from nature’s palette life’s colors are drawn—
Though mute I must be in my heart still I sing,
For the darker the night the brighter the dawn.
The deeper the sorrow the greater the joy,
As shadows and sunlight play alternately—
No doubt or despair can this longing destroy
For my wild swan

My Nights Is Getting Colder
I feel like my nights is getting colder...
There's a lot of weight on my shoulders....
So much pain that I can't take....
So many smiles that I try to fake...
Living in a world with black walls....
Walk a little then fall in deep holes....
Try to reach high to see the light...
But there's no strength left to fight...
Use a
