The People of Winter

Cold is the new warm
Greedy is the new kind
I think I see but
Everyone else is blind

Blind to my thoughts
Blind to what I believe
Come thaw your heart by the fire
Or you can pack your bags and leave

I wrote this poem a while ago and it fits in really well with my theme of seasons because it talks about cold people that I call the people of winter. I actually can't remember at all what my inspiration was for writing this poem even though it was not that long ago. It actually really bothers me because I did put a lot of feeling into this poem.

Fall Air

See the foggy air
Small shadows in the distance
I hear but not see

I wrote this haiku about fall weather and when is very foggy out in the morning. In Vancouver it gets foggy a lot and so this is a very common fall scene. Sometime when it gets really foggy you can only see like an arms distance in front of you so your visibility is very limited. This is what was meant by the line I hear but not see. This poem relates to my theme of seasons because it about a typical fall day in Vancouver.

Poetic Device
imagery - see the foggy air
