Winter personified:

O, thou dearest
wintry breeze,
chilly fingers
sought to freeze.
Thy icy tendrils
do so gently
creep,
causing all
to succumb to thy call
of sleep.
Thou hast heralded
thy sister sweet.
All do tremble
at Her frosted feet.
Madame Winter
comes to call.
Her brother Death
consumeth all.
Her frigid breath
doth still all motion.
E’ery rose dies
in the embrace of Her devotion.
Her wheezing breath
whistles through his chest.
Coughing and dying,
he is put to rest.

His beloved
sheds her tears,
while she reflects
upon past years.
But he could not withstand
Her will in the end.
And to Her will,
he did slowly bend.
Her power-laden fingertips
did spread Her winter gloom.
All the ailing knew this meant
their impending doom.
Her onslaught came
brutal and swift.
Her tentacle reaches
far did drift.
Nary a man, woman or child
was spared.
All that winter did not
safely fare.
And the moral of this ode
is such:
Love you well
whom you love much.

-laughs- I actually enjoy the cold and rain and (if I were so lucky) snow. Then again I have yet to live in that weather for more than a week or two. But I'm always happier while it's pouring here in California. I love curling up under warm blankets, sipping hot chocolate. That's not so comfortable in the middle of summer when it's one hundred and twenty degrees outside.
