~Out the Window~
The still drops of the stiff water
tug at the branches with all their might.
Powdered white blankets
cover the hard grass.
Rigor mortis has set in.
The pathways, though clear
are deceptively slick.
And I
sit inside,
Feeling just as cold,
just as hopeless
as the life that is just barely hanging on
out the window.

Poetry: Winter
Winter's Verse.
Limp drooping berries upon scratchy hawthorn wood
Peeping red from under their powdery down hood
by GoBusGo
Too Far Away From Here
Outside my window, icy winds blow.
Piles of white cover the city streets below.
Streets void of life,
January
Trees glisten in the sunrise
Glassy tinsel draped carefully on branches
The thin shiny layer of crunch
Atop yesterday's
Winter Sunrise
(A Retourne)
I wake up early with black morn
for sunrise hardest yet to catch.
Her butter cream and silhouette
etched
Winter Winds
Whipping whistling winter winds
Whispering wandering wailing
Swaying sparkling silver snow
Spinning spiraling sailing
Angry
