threshold december

slow steady steps
on this ice skimmed road
head deeply hood tucked
against the north wind roar
cold         just cold

on this threshold december

    I can feel that cold, even though it's not really cold here, our snow vanished under rain.

    December is quite alive and well in your verse, and huddling is all there is to do. Enjoyed.

    Excellent use of alliteration, and the ending line comes after a really nice line effect. Great poem.

    Yup. That pretty much describes November. Especially in Canada. Love and Light, Sender

    When the threshold is icy, it's apt to be the most treacherous. Tight write.

    I like the sparse use of words for the sparse environment. Nicely done.

    Tightly-constructed, theme-centric work.
