I am in love with Winter
the winter I've never touched
the cold dust perfume that sits in the crevices of mountains
the chill that is graced upon my frostbitten soul
I'm in love with the winter that
sways the branches of the pine
the one that reminds me, it doesn't hurt to age
I have a special love for the winter that betrays its existence
to make way for its lover, Spring
the deadly, blue lips that trail kisses
down my spine leaving me to breathe smoke into the air
Oh, my dear winter
may you forever sting my skin
and leave my nose red and cheeks the color of the rose you destroy with
your touch
may you always leave me bitter and raw with every moment passing
and oh my winter,
may you forever inlight my flame

Hannah's Challenge
I joined Vocal two years ago, a prick of enthusiasm beseeching me to throw caution to the wind, pay the readies and have a stab at a long stagnated pleasure. It worked remarkably well. I dipped in my toe, finding the water a little cooler than I had hoped, but as I stood there up to my ankles, I realised it was rather invigorating, and by the time I was up to my knees, it was pleasingly tepid. I dove in and swam out to where others were tossing balls about and wrestling over lilos and proceeded to have a whale of a time splashing about, sometimes missing my footing or getting water in my eye, but sometimes turning elegant somersaults and graceful dives.
