[hometext] => Okay, it's not this cold yet, but this weekend is the start of the Ski season, so I'll post for all the cold nights ahead.
[bodytext] =>  Winter has this town in her cold embrace, You see it etched on every red face The pale puffs of air as we all complain, Paying homage to her icy disdain. The morning frost cracks on the lawn, Getting up is painful, like being re-born The Bridge still slumbers under morning mist, And the doona’s too warm to resist. Die-hard surfers still ride the waves, Scrutinising how the sea behaves They shiver and dream of Summer’s heat, But the sets are unbelievably sweet. The light seems thinner than season’s past, A pale wane heat that doesn’t last But the bracing air is crisp and pure, And the sky’s a perfect azure. Freezing wind whistles along the streets, As we gather in cafes over coffee and sweets As we huddle in pubs over ice-old beers, Comparing this season to yesteryears. No suburb or parkland escapes her chill, But old Sol rallies and fights her still An odd warm day, radiance suffused, Makes you think the season’s are a little confused. Yet in the mountains to the west, The first flurries of snow, at Winter’s behest.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
