Interesting, although it sounds like a world which is quite difficult to imagine due to its emptiness - a very lonely place. I like the poetic writing.
Reminded me a little of Westeros from Games of Thrones too, with the seasons sometimes lasting for an age and threatening all life until a moment of renewal.

Can't believe I've only just noticed this - I need to visit Burrst more regularly! ;) Good job - it seems to be almost exactly half-way between prose and poetry - there are definately a few places where lines end up rhyming, not sure how intentional that was. Reminds me of the Dr. Seuss stories!
