Frigid Perditions

Though the most glorious, known as fall. Winter, the most powerful season of all Days and nights, full of crisp gentle flakes Until Old Man winter, grumbles and wakes, With the easterly wind, creating the blitz, While sleeping in warmth, hearing no fits, I awake, looking out, with muddled wits. Pallid coverage everywhere, with solid bits, Scaled, in glacial elements, as I begin to leave, My travels today, pleading for a reprieve. No acceptance for me, I must trek the route. Now prepared and readied, adorning the suit, I set forth steady, against the angry conditions. Old Man winter has come with frigid perditions

Wonderful write, Cecil! Old Man Winter has finally bestowed a brief kiss on Florida where it dipped into the 50s overnight. Folks here were wearing heavy coats during the day when it was in the upper 60s. All of the "grumbles" the old man has to offer are welcome by me. As always, excellently written and filled with brilliant imagery. Love, Carolyn
