I sit upon my window seat
All snug as a bug in a rug
Sun~beams filter in through
The skylight of my sunroom
Caressing me with toasty warmth

I gaze across the ice~bound lake
Kissed by fluffy frigid flakes
From an early morning snow squall
How beautiful it shimmers
A glittering diamond dust blanket

Across the way nestled in a
Patch of pearl tipped pines
Cozy cottage chimneys
Billow with shades of smokey blue~gray
As wisps of wind waltz them up and away

As I lookout over the frostbitten shore
I watch an old winter warrior bundled up
Trudging out to his favorite fishing hole
Red plaid jacket and matching cap
Adding a bit of cheer to the chill of morn

Before to long my quiet reverie will be but a memory
As the lake awakens to the hustle and bustle of
Snowmobiles, ice~skaters and sledders
Fun and laughter will magically fill the air
As I smile from my ringside seat
At
Old
Man
Winters
Wonderland

You know how I feel about your poetry, Miss Pinky. Extraordinarily penned, each and every one.

Ya, here comes the 'but'...
quote:

At
"Old
Man"
Winters
Wonderland
How come it can't be, "Old Woman Winter"? I'd like to see a little equal time here! See what you can do, will ya?

...just bein' Bluesy
