Greetings Infomaniacs,

Oops! Thank you for letting me know that I forgot to post

the hand (The order on the poem is pinky, ring finger,
middle finger, index or pointer finger, and thumb).

I am sorry about that!

Enjoy!

*** Weekly Mind-Scrambler ***

I've been drawn by the artists these days, and of old;
Yet I'm seen only when all around me is cold.

For most of the time you just live and ignore me;
Then you gasp for me, stop for me, mutter below me.

You might say, in surprise, I've been taken away,
But it's true I've been with you, at least 'til today.

When I leave you, you leave too!

What am I?
