Like a cold area of ice
Still too many syllables:
Like(1) a(2) cold(3) ar(4)e(5)a(6) of(7) ice(8)
Its where I keep all my food
"Its" (posessive) should be "It's" (contraction of "It is").
Winter finally is here!
If you're keeping that particular phrasing, there should be commas before and after "finally".
