I’ve grown tired of winter, Too many of them have gone by, Oh, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good snow going by, But to heard a robin’s song Is for what I long and green to see. It’s probably just me. I’ve grown tired of cold, Layers on layers on tired bone, Maybe I’ve just grown old Sitting in this cold empty home, Hoping to feel summer’s heat On my feet and gather a bloom, It can’t come too soon. |

Yes, well expressed. I feel the same. Your poem has a haiku/tao feeling about it. I like the simplicity, the sentiment and the closeness to nature. |

Some lovely concepts here, with a perfectly lovely title! The consolation is that "this too shall pass" as the clock of the seasons tiptoes on. Owl |
