Another day begins to slowly close.
The months are falling even shorter.
Cold creeps in draining life's color.
"Who knew decay looked so beautiful?"
I'm grateful for the season's friggidness.
"No more worms on rainy sidewalks."

I think this captures this time of year perfectly. I am also grateful for the frigidness of winter.
This is a beautiful tribute to a time of year—and a kind of weather—filled with mixed emotions. My favorite line was “Cold creeps in draining life’s color”. It’s so vivid and chilling, and then to follow it up with “Who knew decay looked so beautiful?” evokes a wide range of emotions.
I like worms, generally speaking - think they're cute! Sorry I missed this one! Love the image of cold creeping about!
Ooh! This reads so well, though i sense a melancholy in each line. The worms, especially… Great one!
Awesome!! Love this

Who knew, exactly!!
Brilliant!!! Loved it!!!
Nicely done and good point about the worms.
I don't envy you the forthcoming cold
