WEATHERING WINTER

By Josie Whitehead

Weathering Winter

Winter's clothed in dreary skies;
      Her wolf-howls tear the air.

Her biting teeth gnash at our skins -
     With no respect or care.

​

Squirrels long have stored their nuts
      And swallows left our lands,

Whilst winter rides on cold north winds
      That freeze the nose and hands.

 

Let's banish winter with bright lights;
   
And cheer despondent streets.
Let's fill our homes with Christmas fun
     And spoil ourselves with treats.

​

Let's wrap ourselves in festive fun!
      Bring forth that Christmas cheer,
And, by
*bridling problems, just for now,
     
*Unleash a brand new year.

* Personification.

​

*Bridling Problems:  When you put a bridle on a horse you bring that horse under your control.  Bridling problems means just keeping the problem under your control.

​

*Unleash a brand new year:  Letting it loose; letting it freely run its course - as when you unleash a dog.
