Winter Blues

As the Sun sulks in a somber place, shades of alabaster mask His face. And like banshees crying out all alone, howling winds bring a chill to the bone. Freezing temps take the fun out of play when blustery winds won't go away. And depression lurks on streets of snow fearing Winter will never let go. Blanketing earth in a white duvet color is absent from Nature's cache. And as geese flee a barren landscape, life hunkers down; if they can't escape. Winter's brush paints the city today in dull hues of melancholy gray. And skyscrapers anchor clouds of mist stifling the air so odors persist. Spiraling thoughts see sadness take hold, driven by merciless months of cold. And winter blues recall winters past, dampening hopes this weather won't last. (Rhyme) 4/6/2016

Dear Emile, we are all missing you here and at PFT. I think you describe the despondent emotions of everyone who is tired of winter clinging to April like the last leaf to a naked tree. I enjoyed your poem. I think about you every day. Get better soon my friend. Love, Connie
