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.

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/1/2021 5:20:00 PM A picture is worth 1,000 words, they say. Brrrrrr. :) Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 12/1/2021 5:53:00 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.

Mystic Rose Rose Date: 12/1/2021 9:39:00 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, :) Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 12/1/2021 10:00:00 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!
