Delicate winter

A slender icicle hanging from the frosted eaves
A fragile and thin layer of ice frosting over the pond
The intricate ice crystals, no two the same
The silence of fresh snow coating the sound like a blanket
A swan as graceful and white as the cold streaming wind

Fierce winter

An obliterating blizzard howling like a wolf
The cold northern wind cutting flesh like a knife
Hailstones pounding on you as if they were metal rain
Frostbite slithering up your toes and ears like a poison vine
Ice expanding, crushing rocks
Then winter starts to melt
