On a Cold Day in March

Write a Poem in Trochaic Meter contest entry
"Trochaic meter is often described as having a 'falling rhythm.' This refers to the fact that the stress comes first and then it falls off into the unstressed beat. This is in contrast to an iambic meter which has a rising rhythm (the stress comes first followed by the unstressed beat)." - from www.poemanalysis.com
Trochee is a metrical foot composed of two syllables: stressed followed by an unstressed syllable. It is often used to make the poem intentionally sound different and somewhat unnatural. Good examples are Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha."
