A motley mess my winter dress, warmed with Christmas colors,
Reds and greens, yellow and blue ; my mood a hue bit darker.
The coat I wear I do not zip, or button down if wool.

The temperature is hard for me, too hot or far too cool
To slide the jacket’s metal teeth, clamping the hold in full;
On the edge of a seam it seems, my fingers the fabric folds.

When asked to sit and stay a while, I fear my coat’s depart,
My warmth enhanced by fabric, holds close my tearing heart;
There’s no time to sit and talk, when distanced by apart.

Shed the lining or shed the whole, the comfort is not there,
Until the season changes leaves, upzipped my coat I’ll wear.

a cute one~~ I am mostly unzipped or unbuttoned as the running around does tend to keep one warm on its own.

( I've given away my heaviest of coats but would love for a true Spring to come sooner.)

Nice to read you again. Hope this has been a good year for you.

You render the restlessness very well, dear Misce. Really a beautiful surprise to find you here on the blue pages! You are missed.

To sit and talk for a few minutes should be possible, after all the relationships are important. May you have enough time for everything!

This is highly creative and I enjoyed it much.

Love,
Margherita

I myself can't wait for Spring again...that's when the garden needs me most.

nakdthoughts,

   I chuckled when I read your response.  Chalk one up to unzipped coats and hustle bustle.  You've got a point!  All the movement does tend to warm the bones!  Here's wishing for an early Spring, too!

   Have a terrific week, M`.

   What a pleasure it is to hear from you again.   You always seem to pick up on my mood so well.  It perked me up to find you found the poem creative.  Thanks for taking time to read and respond.

        Be well,
            hugs,

               ~misce

That really is a cute poem, most enjoyable.

Seems it's time to load the ink again. You can't write this well and wait this long to share some more. Nicely done...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
