The frozen winter wind penetrated
layers of clothing
and chilled to the bone.
Even the fires of a sunset
couldn't remove the cold
that descended upon the earth.

What an amazing picture.... upon looking at the picture it seems to emit warmth not a chill because it looks like fire in the sky!
I have posted my 'failed attempt'at a 160 ... I really did try to keep it at 160 ..sorry!
Amen to that! About April the chill will start to leave the bones.
Thats a cool pic!
That picture and your words capture the essence of winter. Nice one.
Mine's up.
I like the title and the verse. This year Winter is going to be severe in Delhi too..
Beautiful photo.
Here is mine:
fairy tale
That is certainly cold! The image is amazing. :)
Bring back the summer. I want hot weather. Now.
we had our first snow last night, and that's what it looked like just about. It was a little early this year for good ole NC. I'm ready for summer :)

Sunday 160
Nice picture and poem. You captured a lot in so few words.
Better late than never, I hope. I just posted my 160.
that is an amazing pic! - nice 160, don't know whether to feel hot or cold :)
my 160
Gorgeous shot - visual and written.
I'll go work on a 160
Here's my Sunday 160:

Loved your "Frozen Fire" today. Reminded me of when I lived in Boston, MA--I never thawed out all winter long.
yes it has been bitter cold here this weekend...sck....could use a nice fire...
Oh my goodness! I'm so so sorry. What was I thinking? Obviously I wasn't thinking. I was under 160 WORDS, not characters.
Please forgive me. I'll try again.
Brrr.... this really gave me the shivers, MM! The feeling couldn't have been expressed any better than you just did... NICE!!!!
And after so many MONTHS of no-160, here I am.. BACK with a tear (happy tears obviously!) :) This is my 160...
Thanks and Best Regards,
Kavita
Gorgeous 160, Monkey Man!
Bravo!

Then its bad as the cold that settles permanent in the heart
i will be back next week...just took a week to have a spot of fun...
I have to agree with Katherine, it does look a bit 'warm'... awesome piece! Great visual as always.
That photograph is beautiful but also gives an imminent sense of devastation.....wild!
happy holidays mr. monkey :)
I was feeling like my house was cold but after reading that, I'm freezing!
If I could fashion a coat out of your words surely I would stay warm.
According to your poignant prose, you must live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, or somewhere even more godforsakenly cold!
Beautiful as always my friend.
That sounds like such a paradox, the fires being unable to melt!
reminds me of Claudio's speech from shakespeare's measure for measure, where he talks about hell of ice!
I could feel the chill.
