Let the character experience the cold: Gooseflesh prickles up my bare arms as soon as I push off the covers. 2. Let her observe the...

poet ease. reading good poetry is like sitting in a warm room, talking to an old friend, staring into the embers of a fire and realizing that you aren’t the only person alive after all.
