Pristine white snow has turned to ice
Wickedly cold temperatures
Dropped dangerously low in the night
Otherwise a brisk walk
Enjoyable and nice
Slipping across frozen sidewalks
Causing quite the fright
Sun is hiding behind grey clouds
The chill is seeping through the layers
Conscious of my self talk
Convincing myself all is alright
Stepping gingerly across the frozen street
Covered in layers of clothing
Scarf, gloves and hat
Remembering my premonition
This winter will be heavy cold
Hiding in a mountain of clothes
Trying to maintain the body heat
Quickly walking by neighbours
With a quick chat
Happy New Year wishes
This year is a snow bunny’s bliss
