Question:

Does this qualify as a lyric poem?

The sun, beating harshly upon my back.
I look enviously to my neighbor, to the north,
his feet and neck cooled
Yet he longs for the sun??s warm embrace,
where the green grass grows.
He seeks passage to my domain,
while I cast sidelong glances at his snow.
Both wishing, wanting, what the other has.
With a longing to replace what is wanting.
he needs the sun??s warm glow, while I need the snow.

Certainly it is a descriptive lyrical poem relating inner speculations of the speaker
