The Poetry Stretch this week at The Miss Rumphius Effect is to write a dictionary poem. I love cold weather and think it gets a bad rap, so I decided to define cold through the seasons.
Is This Cold?
cold?kold n.
[from Old English cald; huddled next to Old High German kalt, born of the Ice Ages, never chattered in tropical locales]
?
a feeling or sensation of coolness, like the
???????????
??????????? delicious shiver of ice
???????????????????????????????????????’down
????????????????????????????????????????your
???????????????????????????????????????’spine in July,
?
??????????? brisk ??? wind ???
??????????? ??? spinning ?????? leaves on the breeze in November,
???????????
??????????? d e l i c a t e ??l a c e?? of snow on your face in February,
?
??????????? or a grey May day with jackets packed away
