Gershon Wolf Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

I just love January -- on the 31st at 11:59 p.m...

Be Wary of January

J   ust too cold outside for man or beast
A  bsolutely freezing in the bedroom at night
N  ot interested in building a snowman, thanks
U  nwilling to feign interest in 'bobsledding'
A  nother gloomy, cheerless day, so depressing
R  ead, read, read one's way through the month
Y  ear in, year out, it's a pitched battle for survival   

     
     (only) January, 2, 2018 (unfortunately)

Michelle Faulkner January 6, 2019 at 5:59 PM Love the title for this (I don't get much snow but the endless rain gets to me so I can relate) Gershon Wolf January 6, 2019 at 9:16 PM Hey, maybe the poem and YOUR comment have done the trick for us here in Chicago: For the past 4 days, the temperature has been in the low to high 40's, and tomorrow it'll be 52 or so and rainy all day....Ha, ha -- That means cold 'll be on the way Tuesday and Wednesday for sure. Oh, well...

M. L. Kiser January 2, 2019 at 7:16 PM Ah, but I love to read...especially with a big cup of hot chocolate on a cold day or night. Good luck with the contests. Gershon Wolf January 3, 2019 at 12:50 PM Yes, me too...But not because it's one of the only alternatives to going outside and freezing to death!! … Thank you for your feedback, and please know that this one is not entered in Michelle's contest. "Back Again" is entered in her acrostic contest, however. Blessings, gw
