    There it was like a cold witner day ​
    no horse no sleigh no children at play​
    haunched on his perch stalking his prey​
    but stop the wind wishes to talk and not go through the anguising stalk​
    i heard a voice i heard i heard a cry i thought to myself this must be a lie​
    i stop i pace my heart starts to race no not here i wish i was there​
    but what am i hiding from am i the consumption of fear​
    and there i am on a cold winter day lonesome and lonely like an animal of prey​
    i look for a path​
    its gone​
    I search and search​
    I stop and wait and anticipate​
    wait and wait...........​

    Punctuation! I had to reread to make sense of some of the lines. For example:
    [but stop(,) the wind wishes to talk and not go through the anguising stalk]
    [but what am I hiding from? Am I the consumption of fear?]
    And why do you capitalize the first line and then leave the rest of the poem looking like one long rambling sentence?

    [ heard a voice i heard i heard a cry i thought to myself this must be a lie
    i stop i pace my heart starts to race ]

    Rhyme here is too forced, it's distracting. Tis a pity though, I adore the theme, you can do so much with -winter days- but I'm afraid you try to tackle too much at once without really knowing where to channel your stream of conscience.
