FROST BITTEN
by Sarah Nicolai
the ice brushing against my face
the only colour around
is the rose in my cheeks
the snow twinkles
like a choir of violins
playing a melody so soft
yet so piercingly high
that if you didn’t know
the beauty behind it
you’d just feel pain.
the wind swirling around me
like a tornado of air
so cold that it’s hot
that the weather burns you
by isolating you
from your own body
and like having frostbite
i lose pieces of myself
to you.
Sarah is a runner
up in the Poetry
category for this
year's Teen Writing
Contest.
