Glistening snow flake fluttering slow below becomes christened crisp Encrypted crust encourages crushing boot busting crunch-cubes Whispering witches' wind-swirl slices shivering frost-wave scattering in icicles My mixes insist I sit, sly, silent, remind myself to sleep heat under the sheets Warm curled-up kitten clicking purr-ball cuddles my cold burrowed feet Creature's fuzzy face nuzzling close cozy so you're not lonely Darkest shadowed hollow weather bracing blizzard better to stick together
