The Poetry of Exile—James Joyce, Rumi & Adrian Rice — Steemit

this winter is bitter with temperatures sub zero and wild howling winds snow gathering in drifts snow my only view bare trees creak, groan squirrels run searching, searching birds are hidden, silent people dress like eskimos skin can quickly freeze hands and feet protected wrapped in hats, scarfs yet, some go skating and some go skiing me, I light fireplace cuddling with my cat

I can feel the chill in your verse Constance, I used to love it when I was younger but now I prefer to watch it from inside. You're in the best place. Tom
