Winter


Meh meh meh, winter.  Exactly what it feels like! Brrrrrrr, bleugh. 

Winter - Billy Collins
A little heat in the iron radiator,
the dog breathing at the foot of the bed,

and the windows shut tight,
encrusted with hexagons of frost.

I can barely hear the geese
complaining in the vast sky,

flying over the living and the dead,
schools and prisons, and the whitened fields.
