touch of such

no breath; death
no less / confess...

Cold nature entices,
effects of the white snowflakes,
numb nose toes frostbite.

Always layer clothes;
Frostbite targets, don’t expose,
Fingers, toes, ears, nose.

fiend's grin
snowed in

bones cold
feel old

frostbite
skin's blight      

day's gray 
like clay

stars dark
no spark

sans hope

There was once a guy named Forknife
He played Fortnite for a fortnight
He disregarded his schoolwork
Because he was doing “homework”
He’s out on the streets with frostbite....

Twilight Cold Winter Aire - A Haiku

snowy winter aire
so blue, frosty twilight flies
after the frostbite

Spring in Chicago is quite a big tease:
Warms up for a minute; says "Pretty please"---
   Wind shifts to the north
   Cold and snow are brought forth---
Now there's frostbite on the back of your knees....

Adrenaline rush of frostbite maps out sail
Fugitive senses converge to disrobe snow blindness so bright
Though fluffy and soft in the air
Hard hitting the ground, beauty in opposites ignite

I SHUDDER
IN THIS FRIGID SKIN
I AM FROSTY
CRYSTAL TO THE MARROW
THIS PIERCING WINTER
I SPEND
WITHOUT YOU
I SHIVER
DRIFTING INTO
THE BLEAK WHITE
BITTER, RAW
STARVED FOR YOUR WARMTH
IN THE DEPTHS
OF THIS BINDING COLD....

weather be cold so 
frigid bones frostbite bitten
skin dried out broken 
~
cold and frosted grounds
 crack led pops walks icy grounds
weather be so cold

Fallen down by river leaves
frostbite scars and bruised jaw
the Hero has been found under the star-lake tree
sleeping under watchful eye
resting from years of service and broken backs
his name no one can recall
except to say that he did fall...

Your flamboyant of a heart is of glass shards and ice

That stings like frostbite and slices like a vice

To your prey, everything seems like a perfect price

A beautiful contagion that swathes but smothers

Expels lucidness or causes demise amongst others...

Flurries promised, snow?
Wet froozen slushy
Add a sleigh or two
Winter fun, snow day
Gloves, Hat and scarf, warm

Hot chocolate
Melted goodness
Tasty sweet treat
Warm my body

From the in
To the out
Frostbite go

Away!
Give me

Spring!!



For the what the hex? contest!...

Moonlight 
Is a bright sight
In the darkness of night,
The lonesome wolf howls like a sprite,
Mournful cries, unearthly sighs give the fright,
Winter chills and thrills, yields frostbite,
While I stand in delight 
Under the white 
Moonlight

Listen to poem:

A Frost Bite Forecast
David J Walker 

It was the first night of frost
Biting the fallow farms 
Stretching its icy arms across
The plowed grounds

Touching agrestic towns left
Dressed in white 

Winter, sounding its alarms
That its’ bitter bite is coming
Ice and snow soon to follow...

Summer
Brutal, humid
Grilling, camping, hiking
Picnics, vacations, holidays, traditions
Sleighing, shivering, celebrating
Gentle, fresh
Winter

A delicate flower just broke
and no one would ever know
A day of celebration
is getting eaten by the cold

I gave out my trust
it has been returned
under double-lock-and-key
the day just gets colder

As night time falls
we will set
if she can survive the night
or forever suffer from frostbite...

Winter,Oh Beautiful Winter
lay your white blanket over me
as I may huddle in it's warmth
as I may Caress the whiteness with my tips
and catch the snowflakes with my lips
A wonderland of Velvet satin
carrying its wind of pain through my soul.
destroying my body with frostbite
and achieving its goal....

It rains,

I carry an umbrella-

yet still I'm wet,

because it rains.


It snows,

I dress warmly-

yet I freeze,

frostbite hits me hard-

because it snows.


It hails,

I wear a helmet-

yet I'm bruised,

bleeding from the inside-

bruised beyond all doubt,

because it hails....
