It's sad that only the north wind knocks on her door, but unfortunately that situation happens far too often. Your presentation is beautiful as is your poem. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Hi Gypsy, Short, good haiku about a winter night and how only the north wind knocks on a widow's door. That makes me feel as though she has no welcoming friend to knock on her door,to keep her company, only the wind that is from nature that she can hear and feel. Dove

Your embodies the loneliness of some older people. Alone and forgotten. It's sad. The winter time setting with it's cold short days was like the December time in the seasons of life. Wonderfully written. Gretchen

Oh, this is a deliciously chilling piece you have delivered, Gypsy. Not because it's cold, either. There is darkness in them there woods. Thank you for sharing.
God bless,
Steve

Sad story told in so few words! I like your personification of the wind and how it knocks. Often those who are sick or needy or lonely are the ones who don't get the visits they need. Well said!

    I lived alone for ten years after my divorce. It can get very lonely, especially when I had depression episodes

    Thank you very much, big sister. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Love ❤️

Your words bring to mind the loneliness one experiences when the ones dear to you have forgotten to call on you. Those who do look you up are cold and distant. Your presentation isxwell done as usual.
Thanks for,sharing.

Back to your horror genre Gypsy! I like the verse and accompanying artwork.

The cold North wind is often ominous in literature and likely in Native American lore.

You captured that feeling with your post - nicely done.

Cold, creepy and generally uninviting. As you say, only the cold wind goes there. Some good alliteration enhancing cohesion and flow in your excellent free verse. Well done, Gypsy! Debbie
