toward glittering frost

Whoa…
Chilling. I feel that the last three lines would conjure the very same unfortunate image in the absence of the opening couplet
Great imagery. Wonderful.
A good poem.
wow
Very strong tanka by Jenny.
I'm reminded of this tanka I wrote:
a small death
the cracked shell
of a snail
now this delay
at the train station
