    Just the context setting opening line speaks of tension and resonance. We have a subtle shape poem aspect with the long (for obvious reasons) middle line.

    Wonderfully atmosphere, I almost feel I am there, eating wind, and "talking wind", and attempting conversations!

    Best part of the winter poem is the element of "stretch", how it's use. The way it works as it works very well and of course there is a lot of depth in the way of telling things. The term "drawn-out" refers to giving emphasis to certain aspect of a conversation. Those are the important aspects of conversation. Absolutely interesting.
