Words in Motion 2013 - Feature Poem of the Day

I am…

It is cold today,

Steam rises from the ground,

The morning sun escapes the earth,

I am surrounded by frozen tundra.

But I am warm,

But I am happy.

Friends gather round today,

Falling ice crystals flatten to the ground,

I am frozen to the spinning earth,

Anticipation stretches out across the tundra.

But I am warm,

But I am happy.

It is way too early today,

We are like sentries divided across the ground,

The puck is cast upon the earth,

Cheers stretch out beyond the tundra.

I am warm,

I am happy.
