Wrapped in Winter
An icy, unblinking stare
I shiver beneath.

I love how you display the act of being cold. I write haikus sometimes, but their not really my thing... I tend to get a little bound to the sylables instead of the actual poem. Nice work- I loved it.

Thanks for commenting~ Though I must admit that winter isn't my favorite season, and I was picturing an ice queen staring down at me, daring me to cross her, as I shivered beneath her harsh gaze. Sort of like a master and peasant sort of thing, I guess.

I love how you personified winter. It just gave the poem so much more life.

Thanks again! I thought personifying winter would make the poem a little different.
