Lake Effect Chill

David Cronk 1977

Bitterness felt, through flesh and through bone
Erie's bold fury stands stoic alone

Gusts blasting shorelines, unbridled resolve
Mans footprint lie ruined, in defeat we absolve

Inches to feet, iced pathway and street
Impassable danger post autumns retreat

Refuge haste taken, each freeze that it sends
Take slumber in warmth, til winter it ends
