Description 1.
winter's bite
not so sharp
in california

2.
seasons change,
but snow takes an
eternity to melt

3.
exchanging secrets
a warm breath and
a cold wind

4.
melody of wind
a subtle lullaby
to a tired thinker

5.
song bird
with broken notes
induces migraine

6.
impromptu skate
ice rink and
wing-tipped shoes

7.
late night stroll
celestial companion
keeps secrets

That's good. When it's freezing, man...

Cali ain't all surf and sun, though. Besides, people seem to care less about each other nowadays...
