Windchill Poems | Examples

Signs of Spring

The signs of spring are in the air
the days begin to lengthen
morning arrives earlier each day
the sun sets later in evening
the mood of people brighten
as they look forward to spring
it was a long cold winter
with temperatures below zero
the windchill and frostbite
made some hibernate
but coming signs of spring
with ice melting on roads 
dripping of ice off roof tops
spots of grass beginning to show
along houses and sidewalks
brings a lighter step to all
who were down with winter blues.

Global Warning Dont be Silly

My ankles are grinning
We love the feel of the sun
We have not had her for a month
The last two weeks schools were closed
The windchill was twenty degrees below zero
Today it is sixty-seven degrees and sunny
Global warming? Of course not. Don’t be silly!

White Broom

*A young man went out for a stroll 
into a remote patch of icy blue Adirondak
It's been a few moons since he was last seen 
they discovered his lithium car at the trailhead
A white broom swept his footprints off the map
They posted a vision of him sitting in the sunshine.
They're searching low and high for that cherub smile
Prayers are swirling like glitter in a snow globe
the ranger whispers about windchill and hope
forecaster says a fresh foot of devilish snow
they postponed the search until tomorrow
They say a cardinal may chirp a psalm
when souls wander into the beyond 
A young man went out for a stroll*

Pansies In Winter

When winter's rain and windchill reigns
I plant some pansies to cheer
Then cold winds howl, trees do tremble
But in this spot, gold appears

These pansies, delicate and fair
Bloom yellow with delight
Their soft petals bold and smooth
Such a lovely sight

The rain dances, and wind howls
The pansies bend and twirl
As if both are here forever
A graceful waltz, in winter whirl

Middle of the Usa Cold Spell

Wintery mix
Asthma inducing air
Windchill is fourteen below

Ice under snow
Cars doing donuts
Skidding across freeways

Seeing your breath
Wheezing kicks in
Cheeks pink and frozen

Middle of the USA
Iowa Kansas Nebraska
Frozen unification

The Lights and the Silos

an hour before docking
it was ice cold and freezing
as the vessel like scissors
cut clean through the swell

and the ship’s horn then sounded
and woke those still sleeping
startling the standing
and the seagulls as well

and the door opened outwards
on a windswept and dark deck
as a lighthouse and headland 
appeared to our right

and the radar was turning
mixing mist with the morning
as we looked over railings
still wet from the night

and the lifeboats above us
were secured by strong davits
as we walked round the ship’s deck
to see what was there

and the noise of the engines
grew loud and then quiet
while the spindrift and windchill
danced wild with the air

and the lights and the silos 
of europoort holland
shone bright in the distance
and focused our view

and we stood there transfixed
with our backs towards england 
as dawn beckoned others
to stand and stare too.

Sun Fourth of April

M-orning sun fourth of April
E-liminates the night; 
S-kyline's coal black clouds
H-ave all become white.

D-awn sun fourth of April aims to meet the Tuesday; 
E-vening shadows disappear into the dark, blue, and gray.

P-ure warmth of the beacon
E-rases the cold windchill; 
D-ay breaks to welcome 
R-ising sun fourth
O-f April.

Last Breath

when it rained, it came it sheets
I was drenched from head to feet
no shelter close to help affection
feelings drown without protection

next comes windchill down to bone
howling, swirling, on it groans
in my mind I now avow
this is the end, right here and now

but on and on and on it goes
day and night I do not doze
ever watchful and alert
my will now I shall assert

without nourishment it shall die
relationships ebb with swollen lies
it will die a lonely death
sighing with its very last breath

Snow Drifts In the Mind

Bones growing soft- no summer glow
plows plopping out piles of salt           
fender benders and potholes.
       
White knuckles and black ice
sun shower and petal
nowhere in sight              
ice cubes for breakfast 
polar vortex for lunch
windchill for dinner                  
the snowman is hunched.
Icicles for a snack               
winter has no mercy
there goes my back
but I got off easy
my neighbor had a heart attack        
             
lake effect snow 
drifting on the road                
somebody froze to death
less than half a mile from home.
                      
Dreaming of a summer blade 
to cut through this icy cake          
for saccada songs to warm the shovel
old man winter looks alot like the devil.

Kotex In a Polar Vortex

The windchill is 45 below sanity
a snow man has frozen snot
dripping from his 1 carrot nose
but the cold doesn't stop the gun toll
in my sweet home Chicago.

27 dead across the Midwest
Frozen solid in the echo of their final step.
A snow shoveling heart attack,
took out a veteran who did three tours in Iraq.
Still three months to go till the sunspots warm up my soul.

My neighbor kept me awake, wielding a leaf blower.
To whisp away little puffs of snow.
He knows I work the graveyard shift.
but tomorrow I'll give him my happy hello. 
He's on permanent disability drives a nicer car than me.
He's the one who rolled the snotty snowman.
into form even with his bad back.
Clever little mother#%$&*$
He'll never will have a heart attack.

There's a variety of starvation and riots.
Thirteen wars going on at present.
but the primetime gossips are obsessing about. 
Trumps big orange belly and wispy hair...

Mercifully they cut to a Kotex commercial.
It's a good time to coffee up and take a piss.
I've got a very serious case of the polar vortex blues.

Snowfkake Confetti

a veil of whiteness
conceals your perfect beauty
temporary snowflakes

heated desires
temporary cooled kept you chaste
snowflake veiled honour


winter breeze... windchill
snowflake veil now divided
your lovers kiss saves the day

you did... he did... vow
now husband and wife... lovers
snowflake confetti

Let the Sun Set Things Aright

J-ust let the sun set things aright, 
O-pening first the morn with mirth; 
Y-ou will be bathed with light next, warming the day of your birth. 

M-ake the sun set things aright, 
E-arly Friday seventh April; 
D-on't let the beacon fade 
I-nto the cold dark windchill. 
N-ight shadows have turned 
I-nto the clouds clear and white; 
L-et the new dawn break, 
L-et the sun set things 
A-right.
