Zero Weather
Is truth our house is cold enough
to make one cringe,
The roof's a glittering mantle
with crystal fringe.
The window's an enchanted field
of fern and flower:
-Incredible that they should bloom
this zero hour.
The creaking steps are crackling ice
-You're going under!-
And when the roof bursts in the night,
it's Winter's thunder.
