Winter chill
comes bringing goodwill
rain lashing gloriously
snow falling magnificently.
Those newly wed
happy for being made.
Looking for warmth
hoping not to get burnt.
Season to be fecund
conceive
fertilize
bloom.
Worries forgotten
hearts gladdened
by joy foreseen
love consummated.
Winter chill
oftentimes deceptive
spurious
wrong.
Not this time
ill will
overshadowed
by goodwill.
