Excellent free verse Patterns : Cold by estory

Cold Colder Colder than snow The faces in the crowd In the snow White stillness, stare Without speaking about What just happened Until They can no longer move Out of the cold On the street Where everyone is standing In the snow, watching The people Walking away Without saying anything Author Notes This is a poem about social silence, the difficulties we have in intervening in crowds when something terrible happens to an individual. we often just seem to stand there looking at each other, frozen, or else we walk away, or we don't say anything. we blend into the white.
