Mid-December. Insomnia. Dreams don’t come easy.
The clock’s steady meter resounds, -- displeasing.
Lean on the window and listen to the winter’s
Heart-moving symphony.
Warm breath. Shivering lips mark the window,--
A sudden epiphany.
Naked branches sway to the rhythm, -- freezing!
Thus starts a poem. Thus the Muses control us, teasing
Us with the winds’ wailing. Thus cold fingers
Become anxious to write.
Thus, seducing the soul, the hour-hand lingers
To move any further tonight.

Master~
This is just an intriguing piece.

'Put your ear to the window and listen to the winter’s
Heart-moving symphony.'


Slightly chilled thoughts moving the muses about.
Of course I'm sitting down here in Florida
with 80 degrees of sunshine today ...
so mine hummed to the sound of the air-conditioner.
*smiles* to you.

Master~
Thanks for the invite. I think I'll pass.

I spent five months in New York at a writer's retreat in the Catskills.
November - March ... COLDEST I've EVER been !

But - I'll think warmly of you !

nicely done and I agree with Marge  I enjoyed the same lines..now  look...   that cold weather in New York isn't all that bad is it? Doesn't it give you nature's beauty to write about..I am only  slightly below you in PA  and I love the coldness..makes me know I am alive...

just teasing you..it  does get bitter sometimes..but you can always  warm up...you can't always  get cool enough in the heat of the south...
