Can'T Wait For Winter

A biting chill now boldly rides the air
Brown leaves are stuck in my porch chair

Chorus of birds are visibly quieting down
Ducks and geese are moving out of town

Even the crickets have stop singing
Funeral bells, they clearly hear ringing

Grief stricken are all the cold-blooded ones
Hamsters and frogs prepare for dull months

I sure love the days and nights of summer
Jailed I feel, under the heavy winter covers

Kind and soft, though, are my cozy sweaters
Love colorful scarves to put an outfit together

My winter wardrobe-I admit, I love
Novel hats, coats, and fur lined gloves

Oh, to get into them, I can’t wait for winter
People oft say-haven’t met a nut like her

I don't think you are a nut. I love winter! Ok, I'm the nut! Great work, Sara! Hamsters and frogs? A unique combination. Congrats on your win in my contest! Blessings!

I will miss the crickets, frogs and fireflies. They are my favorites. Wonderful poem and fun. So we'll say goodbye to summer and and welcome winter slumber. I enjoyed your poem, Sara.
