Paulette Calasibetta Poet Tanka

Blustery Morning

Blustery morning
                             A ruffled sky stopping by
                                Tapping at my door
                            Pretending no one is home
                           Covers, tight over my head

Joseph P. DiMino January 23, 2022 at 8:55 AM Yes, having family in your neck of the woods, I hear it is starting to get colder. Such a splendid description -- I don't blame you -- I would do the same. In Phoenix, when the pool temperature gets below 70, our teeth start chattering. Joe.
