fuzzy-headed sleep lingers as he sits window gazing winter birds gather round neighbor's metal chimney seeking warmth long and thick striated icicles hang in rows from gutters roofs hidden beneath white waves drifted deeply bitter gusts blowing spray he sips steaming coffee warm in flannel robe sherpa slippers winter's here he thinks aloud then shivers at the thought Kris All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings...~William Wordsworth |

Kris, Again you have vividly painted a portrait. But it's not one I am too fond of right now. It's comes way too close to describing me as I see it. They say this is the coldest it has been in Oklahoma in the last 3 years or so but so far we don't have any ice or snow yet. Sure makes it hard to go outside though. Oh well, I guess I should stop complaining as I see on the tv what is happening in Chicago and other places north. |

Pete, Thanks for the comments...I wrote this just this morning...the winter scene was right there in front of me. Yuccckkkk! It's cold enough to freeze anyone's chimichongas.  Calgon...take me away...(to anywhere warm, that is). Kris All good poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings...~William Wordsworth |

hi, like Pete,i too think you have painted a vivid portrait....i liked the minimalist approach here...direct and concise  this reader's eyebrows lifted when he read the last verse...he is feeling sorry for the man for he feels that he is suffering from an acute loneliness..kind of like seeing a winter scene with no one else to share... though i realise, your poem is rather open-ended and that my interpretation may be just one among others.... |
