Winter Witch

Missing image

 

~~~~~

 

 

 

Oh that ol’ witch is back again
with her frozen breath and icy fingers
whining and scratching at the window
and biting the heads off my pretty peonies

Damn her and her silver scythe
cutting a crooked path to my door

Shouldn’t she be in the arctic regions
where the sun doesn’t shine till midnight

I got things to do in the green days of spring
and a warm dream of hot summer breezes
licking my face with tongues of liquid fire
and sun-ripened lightning

 

But damn her and her frigid tease
making me see my pretty things
dying on a frozen vine

    I love winter.
    Its beautiful, feels wonderful (if your bundled up).
    Gives you a warm feeling (If your indoors appreciating).
    Then again this doesn't sound like a love poem towards it lol
    Still wonderful though.

    I understand your pain, yesterday I was hauling cut wood from the back of the property with no jacket, Took a road trip 271 miles south and it was freezing. Supposed to snow soon.
    Peace

    This is great. Personally, I loathe winter, and snow is not my thing.

    Visceral penning, my fearless Friend. Incredibly deft phrasing & tonality, considerin'. Sorry yer posies & nosies are froze. I dunno...I'm way past bein' "ready to settle down" & give it up for Ol' Man Winter...He can just keep right on cruisin' by, as far as I'm concerned...You & I are, after all, "Rebels Without a Pause", ya know. Love it, Sweetie.
