Whole Lot of Infrigidation
Oh we chat
waiting in line for our bagel breakfast
in the warm shop
with snug seats and clean tables and a fireplace
gas of course but still
it puts out a good strong stream of
winter-fighting heat
it flickers in a cozy way
so that we feel just great
waiting for our bagel breakfast
while the high snow clouds gather in the sky
and water mains break all over town

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
I love the way your imagery shuttles between warmth and cold. It perfectly captures this season where we experience the chill of low temperatures but also find comfort in cosy things.
I think that is the best part of this season, there are extremes, warm and cold, darkness and light, and so on. So we notice things more, it seems.
I could envision this scene in my head as I read it. What a lovely poem!
Thank you. I like winter!
