Such a Chill
Virginia Salter

a chill has come into this day
and YESTERDAY  was PERFECT
the sky is gray, yes, oh, so gray
I hold this day in suspect

now tell me, self
why do I fuss
why do I think that I
and all of earth, yes, all of earth
should have the whole darn pie

why do I think that every day
should be filled with sun
and gentle breezes
why do I think such childish thoughts,
they fill my day,
they seize it

for, after all, I truly see
I’d not know of their blessings,
if every day was perfectly
dressed with Sol’s caressings

sunshine is trying, with all its might,
to peel away the clouds
with drying fingers, it parts their strings,
as breeze puffs ‘way the shroud

yet, wonder I, with all of me
if chill shall be warmed and fleeting
for as the cat, my lovely cat,
I wish to crawl twixt sheeting

then snuggle in
blanket under chin
with waterbed a-heating
all truss’ed up
as slumbered pup
whose lonely heart is beating

Sounds like you were really good and comfortable in there under the covers. I'm sorry about you being like a lonely pup but I'm sure that can be resolved!    Great poem this!
Somewhere in the world it's raining or cloudy....I enjoyed the read!

thanky you


scattered showers are predicted for today, but from my view here, sunshine keeps them at bay

this was written on Saturday, me thinks, or Friday, hmmm, better go look  
nope, it was just Sunday when it was so  cold. How time flies. No, doesn't fly, I guess, if it seems 2 or 3 days ago and it was only yesterday.  Weird!
