Winter With the Five Senses

See the Winter breeze Harshly blanketing the grass. Blades frozen stiffly. The wonder unpleasant and immense.

*

Hear the Winter wind howling Its songs musically cacophonic. The raucous tunes unnerving And to the ears a burden.

*

Feel the biting fluffy snow Resting in the garden. Color erased by frigid flakes Crunching forward in heavy boots.

*

Smell the wood of bitterness As you walk through the frostwork. The fragile trees and shrubs A scent of regret and melancholy.

*

Taste the chestnuts of the Christmases And the sour of cranberry sauce. Things that still make you happy Inside this gloomy, leaden Winter season.
