Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Canadian Winter

A down day I'm having
They are certainly rare
No real reason
Not very happy I declare

Just one of those day
The approach of the cold
Could it be winter
Could be I suppose

Each year round this time
I'm afflicted by this
The on come of winter
The warmth I will miss

I'm aware of the seasons
Three are okay
The fourth old man winter
Wish would just go away

Sure must be speaking
For most Canucks
Maybe a mild winter
We'll have with some luck

Who am I kidding
It's in Canada I reside
Mild pertains to cheddar
Not the temperature outside

Russell Sivey November 25, 2013 at 4:31 AM Snow! Oh yes, how I love the snow...on the grass only not on the streets! It can be very illuminating and fantastic thing that snow! I assume you don't like winter my friend! Cold doesn't bother me, you just have to bundle up...but the heat of the summer...I can't handle that too much, you can't walk around naked (at least not outside anyway, I have been known to walk around naked in my house every once in a rare time) You have delighted me by the splendor of this incredible poem! Great Work!! Jack Ellison November 25, 2013 at 8:44 AM It was our version of "shock and awe"!!! Cold, I can deal with... the snow can cause so many problem! Yes I agree, it's beautiful for a day or so and then it can disappear! LOL

Carol Eastman November 24, 2013 at 8:57 AM Already below freezing here, too. Another canadian clipper came our way. I already miss the warm weather.... Like it was yesterday. Oh! It was!...LOL...On the War of the Roses Dragon has finally learned that Winning doesn't mean that you've won! No one has talked to him since yesterday... He's looking repentant... But we know it won't last for long... But kinder and gentler is definately in his future... I'll make sure everyone is forgiven by nightfall... Jack Ellison November 24, 2013 at 9:01 AM "like it was yesterday!!!" I was just saying that to Cathie... seems the the world has sped up! Good thing I've you and P-Soup to get me through the winter! Love ya Carol xoxoxox
