On the sidewalk that winds through the village green, A women walks dressed, in dull whites of winter Instead of bright pinks, or beiges of spring. Through it's cold, she strolls, to meet her new lover The one who has filled her heart up with bother, And her head up with romantic schemes. * But a whistle of chill breaks their huddle, Negating the ardor that they both esteem; So they seek out the heat behind casements, The bell on the door of the coffee house, rings.. * On the wall hang pictures of searing Espressos Dark Cappuccinos and double-shot Lattes Along with a tablet that charts a full year... In yesterdays space is a four word passage "First day of spring" (seems a lie to the pair) |

Though it's cold, she strolls, to meet her new lover The one who has filled her heart up with bother, Hmmmm, those couple lines are enough to warm my heart right up~ Here's hoping the chill will subside, soon ice~ Enjoyed your poem very much~ |
