Winter's breath can be bitter cold
crossing an uncharted threshold
icy waters of reflections
cracking are human connections
dark clouds hover over the earth
red cardinal sings of rebirth
winds blow in uncertain directions
cracking are human connections
faraway snowy mountain tops
temperatures fall as the sun drops
starry sky leaves lasting impressions
cracking are human connections
can dreams thaw the January night
hope hinges on slivers of moonlight
melting hearts changing perceptions
cracking are human connections
linking with What's Going On? What Cold Is

Thank you for visiting - stay warm
Great use of rhyming and repetition in your poem, and cold that cracks human connections. May dreams help to melt the cold!
ReplyDeleteI love the structure of your poem. Excellent rhymes! I am not sure that even dreams can thaw THIS January's night(s). Wish I would be seeing some red cardinals.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you're dreaming of a heat wave!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. And fitting.
Cold times indeed. Lucky the Goose must be feeling the chill, poor thing. Great rhyming and rhythm in your poem.

DeleteWe don't see red cardinals here but I've seen pictures of them against the snow and they are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe coldness of breaking human connection is definitely scary. I love the repetition in your poem. I have a backyard full of birds and other wildlife. In the unexpected cold where I live in Texas they bring warmth to my spirit.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of human connections cracking is deeply sad indeed. However the Red Cardinals bring color, joy and hope to this bleak scene. A beautiful poem.
