As Fingers Thaw

As fingers thaw, they can now bend
to your sweet will, my dear old friend
around that pen, or to those keys
to dabble in sweet memories
   adding your own spice to the blend 

Winter gnarls bones and can suspend
desire to write, she won’t pretend
that she is kind; she feels unease 
    as fingers thaw

So hasten then to put an end
to Winter’s ill, go heal and mend
those poems hurt by her painful freeze 
Let them go free, cajole and tease
it’s their time now to set the trend
    as fingers thaw
