High temperatures are not the norm
As Winter wraps us in her arms
Pretending we are Christmas presents
Placed beneath placed beneath her Ponderosa pine
Yuletide gifts for her to unwrap.
Flames in a fireplace crackles
Radiating warmth that Winter abhors
Instead she wants us all to shiver; as
Days grow longer
And nights grow short, while we
Yearn for the warmth of spring.
