Oh, Wintertime!

My response to a Warsaw Writers Group prompt concerning our love of winter.

 

Oh, wintertime!

 

It’s tough to recall I once loved winter

With childish skiing, sledding and snowball slinging

Now it’s just bitter cold, snow and winds a-stinging

 

Oh, now I enjoy winter in ways you know

Frozen fingers, nipped cheeks and reddened nose

Scraping glass, sliding steps and shoveling chores

Monochromatic landscapes with a lack of sun

Bundling up, clunky boots and snow to the chin

Cabin fever, heating bills, and bulging abdomen

 

Oh, where is that spring? These are rough times

We all beg for slightly warmer climes

Weather folks tell us more bad winter news

Warmth still months away just leaves us blue

Better pray for global warming when it’s minus two

 

Oh, wintertime

It’s so baffling I once loved winter!
