Late February


Spring comes unstealth’ly early
winter beheads itself with warm wild winds
cloud suffocates its cold

thirsty pale darkness seems to seep
through window blinds yet bleeds
us of our winter-hoarded heat
to slake these season-slaying gales
that leave us lurching listless
vainly awaiting Easter which
too many may not reach.

Just another weather poem, and I owe someones a crit... but interested in how this could be improved, so there.

the lines in green I thought were very well done.
the rest of the poem is a bit overcooked for my liking, taking too long to get to the denouement.
I didn't care much for winter-hoarded heat or season-slaying gales. They sound forced.
