A chapter in the book The Ottava Rima

Winter Love

by adewpearl


When wailing winds have turned the seas to glass
and only snowmen brave the brisk, bleak cold,
when great oaks bend beneath the frigid blast
and warnings from great storm bells have been tolled,
when all the world in solid ice is cast
and winter grasps all life within its hold,
I promise you a place where you'll stay warm
if I can be your shelter from the storm.
