L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

A Chill, a Shiver

The picture of an iceberg gives me a chill
A glacier slowly drifting southward a shiver
Why is it, for me, the cold is more than an ill,
And thoughts of winter make my lips quiver.

Caren Krutsinger December 1, 2021 at 11:40 PM Oh yes I am feeling that chill now. L Milton Hankins December 2, 2021 at 9:15 AM Well, hopefully, that means the poem worked!

Gershon Wolf December 1, 2021 at 5:20 PM A picture is worth 1,000 words, they say. Brrrrrr. :) L Milton Hankins December 1, 2021 at 5:53 PM Yep. I just don't enjoy the cold, period. I don't think I ever did, even sledding when I was a kid. I can always take off clothes, but I never could put on enough in the winter.

Tom Cunningham December 1, 2021 at 1:59 PM Those long dark cold nights seem to drag on forever. When the sun comes out it's a bonus. Tom L Milton Hankins December 1, 2021 at 4:32 PM Indeed! Thanks so much for your warm comment, Tom.

Mystic Rose Rose December 1, 2021 at 9:39 AM So many people dread the winter, its not the snow but the withdrawal home for so many long months. I pray it be a mild winter so we can get on with spring , hang in there Milton, :) L Milton Hankins December 1, 2021 at 10:00 AM Ah, I think this might be the case with me. I do hate the gray days, mostly, and the chill I feel when leaving the warmth of my home. I guess I'm just a wuss!
