winter (this won my school poetry contest)

her wind-torn hair
lashes her face
like silver blades
drawing spider webs
across her frost-bitten eyes.

her chill breathing
screaming against your window
the ironic lullaby
putting life to sleep
freezing time like buried acorns, memories.

with bare naked, mechanical claws
she reaches, closing the sky
pulling the clouds down upon us
erasing the colors from the canvas.

The Poet

I am not currently a published, nor a famous, poet, but I hope that maybe that could change. These are all my own poems, so please feel free to compliment, criticize, or simply comment on them. I would greatly appreciate it. Spread the word, too, if you like them enough!

And if you even want to request a poem by me, I'm your personal poet.
