Last Winter

A Sonnet

Anyone familiar with winter

Understands that it could bury our world

We imagine Hell as blazing fire

But into ice and snow we will be hurled

Fire bursts with brilliant energy

Ice is the shell vitality has fled

Bitter cold is life's eldest enemy

When you are frozen, you are truly dead

Trust the ancient, Norse imagination

Its Eddas do foretell our wintry doom

Stories of frosty annihilation

Were woven long ago upon their loom

Heed their terrifying, blizzard warning

We'll be undone by freezing, not warming

Sonnet
