Cold
Frigid landscape
Antarctica
Has relocated
To my backyard
Icy tendrils
Creep under
The doorsill
Heartless 
Fingers of
Unfriendly ice
Wrap themselves
Around me
Trying to steal
My blanket
Clutched
In my cold fingers
As I try to coax
Heat into
My shivering
Body
The moon
Outside my window
Wintry orb
Sitting in silent
Observation
Over this 
Chilly globe
