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
