It's Cold, It's Snow, It's Winter

Well here we are in Bonnie Scotland the new year celebrations are past winter is increasingly showing it's bite these cold winds really carry a fierce blast Being up in the highlands for a break but walking down town snow begins to fall looks so lovely all over with fields so white the beauty of winter surrounds us all Then the snow begins to fall really heavy the umbrella is up along with a heavy coat trying to be warm find a nice cafe for a coffee along with nice fruit scone and jam its so remote This country can really be so barren especially in the countryside, hills so tall the winds are sore across one's face wish to pass hoping spring over the wall It's cold! it's snow! it's winter! so darkening moods within one's head please spring hurry up and come it's so tempting to stay in one's bed (I spent a few days at Crieff in the Scottish Highlands a couple of weeks ago. )

I can empathize with you Gordon; I too live in a northern climate. I enjoyed reading your poem. Take care.

You live in Scotland don't you Gordon? It must get bitterly cold about this time of year - do you remember the beautiful scenery and hot summer days we have in parts of South Africa - however we went to 42 in December - I would swop both hot and cold for a warm temperature all year round. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer, yes indeed I do live in Scotland where it has been pretty cold in past few weeks but in last couple of days has been a bit milder thankfully. when we were in South Africa it was always in October which was early spring so it could be quite cold at night but nice during the day. yes indeed we would all like it to be a warm temperature all year. have a blessed day, Gordon

Gosh it does sound cold up there Gordon, but beautiful also. Many years ago Frank and I visited the West Coast and enjoyed the sheer beauty and also the bleakness of this area. Your poem made me shiver a little but I also share your need for spring to arrive soon, though much milder down south. Kindest thoughts Ann xx
