A Poem of Winter

Rosy cheeks, heavy clothing, runny noses
Hot chocolate and tea
Meals of soup and meat

Naked trees
Snow up to your knees
Smoke dancing out of chimneys

Sledding the parks
Skating the rinks
After play, warm hands in the sink


Frozen cars, frozen toes, frozen ponds 
Frozen hopes for heat  

“Only a few more months!” a woman squeaks
