Cat
Lounging lazily
Like a furry king
Creeping, prowling through
the night. Slinking, stalking prey,
crouching quietly
An arrogant king
Sleeping on a throne of warmth
While ruling the house
An Egyptian god
A household king
Superior to others

Frozen
I hear the frost crunching under my shoes,
leaving my footprints behind me,just missing the ice-cold water
that might numb my feet
Arriving at school,
the crisp, bitter concrete slips beneath my feet.
I run inside before I freeze,
I grab a drink but the tap is defrosting.
When it comes, the water is fresh.
Before my eyes
the world defrosts
like a gigantic ice cream.
It's not so bitter any more.

Winter
Winter is that time of year
when the sparkly ice takes over puddles.
Winter is the fresh start to the days,
when the glistening frost covers the grass.
Winter has the specialty of freshness, coldness
and bitter mornings.
Winter has the numbing touch
that freezes my hands.

Frost
White, crunchy grass.
Crispy, bitter air.
Icy roads that are slippery -
A frost is here.

A Skyful of Grey
A skyful of grey,
While snowflakes glisten
Drifting, dancing till they fall.
As they settle on the ground
They melt and disappear
And all the fun has gone.
I stand upon the crunchy ice
That enveloped the field;
The trees above are naked and cold,
Encrusted all over with ice.
My nose is red
And my fingers deep blue.
No circulation of blood at all.
Embracing, the crispy, fresh air
Is shaking my body to the bone.

The Webs of Cold
Shiny
crispy glass
grass
Webs of
silver and
bracing ice-wind
The silentness
of the world
and the freezing cold.
And all the spiders,
frozen in time,
make me wonder why, oh why,
do they build
webs of cold?
- Jazz R
