Gloomy Winter Has Began

Gloomy winter has began,
it will deprive us of freedom,
be ready to greet boredom;
every sad look agrees it can!

Bears are lucky, they go into lethargy,
humans are awake and experience a long solitude; 
Tic-Tac and Twitter will keep kids busy,
adults will do their chores with decreased fortitude!

In spring everything sounds merry like Mary,
stop by her small cottage and hear her singing;
she hands dainty flowers to anyone who's listening:
the catch, of course, is a contribution to her charity! 

Gloomy winter has began, trees lose their leaves,
flowers their beauty, birds migrate to southern places;
although we like snow: we prefer warm weather,
not much we can do inside, but read the local paper!

I'll free my robin from the cage, he'll follow his buddies;
he loved summer and ate lots of bugs and warbled happily;
sadly, I will confine myself to the creation of new poetry:
Roxy, the golden retriever, will feed and watch her puppies!
