Writes of Winter Poetry Winner: Ode to the Seat Heater

December 19, 2025

Writes of Winter - Christmas Story Contest Winner

Rose-hued cheeks

Snowy streets

Breathe hanging in the air like icicles

Gaetz Lakes path

Winding back

Brave souls on thick-tired bicycles

Winter’s glow

Little stroll

Quickly becoming quite onerous

Worried face

Panicked pace

A wonderland feeling less wonderous

Thoroughly numb

Mood now glum

A glimpse of dirt-streaked silver brings cheer

Waste no time

Climb inside

And summon heat to defrost my rear
