So little colour now to see as winter takes her hold The garden stark The skies are grey And every day is cold The ground is now so damp and wet While moss has made its path A smile from sunshine hard to get Or kookaburras laugh The breeze does whisper cold hello As sunshine showed her face The storm clouds rolling on the go As if an epic race The steps are wet and slippery The autumn leaves still lay The wood heap’s looking sparsely And may not last the day The hills I love are covered The creeks are full to brim The dams have all recovered So good times can begin Everything seems dormant Afraid to face the day Awaiting spring with sun and warmth And friends to come and play It won’t be long for grass to cut And weeds to pull and throw But just for now I’ll wear my coat As winter time does show [This message has been edited by Rick (07-16-2011 04:02 AM).] |

Although the poem was very good and I enjoyed it, Rick, it seemed strange readying about winter's blast in the middle of summer. ~ Employ teenagers while they know everything. ~ |

Got me reaching for my jacket as well, Rick. Your words flow very well together. A very pleasant read, especially in mid July.  Michael |

Dear Margherita, sorry to hear that you are melting there, it is raining here but the heater is keeping us warm and toasty, thanks for your reply, nice to see you here. Hi Michael, I had my coat on today, now enjoying the heat from the fire indoors, nice to see you here my friend. Thank you both for your replies, much appreciated. Rick |

Great poem, love each cold breeze it made. I can't wait for winter to return to Michigan, for the days are close to being an inferno. |
