Original Submission by Mohd Saqib

COLD

Flakes descend,

landing on snow.

Winter breeze

gives goose bumps.

snowman grins,

trees wither.

So cold,

so cold,

so brutal.

Snow, on window sill,

snow, on the farthest hill,

snow, just shiver and chill.

Colourless cloudy sky,

odourless foggy wind,

lonely whitened path,

depressed and depressing.
