Susan Woodrow Poet Lay

Lazy Days

Let the cold, integral to fall
Allow a furlough from life’s gall
Zapped of heat, my water love lost
Yielding to blankets, dark accosts…

Days mist like ghosting memories
All wrapped warm, swaddled in stories
Yet, outside forces beat and knock…
So wish to hibernate, doors locked!

Paula Goldsmith January 5, 2022 at 1:31 PM Your "Lazy Days" is a wonderful write. Wrapped in a warm blanket with a book and hot tea/coffee sounds great to me. Have a blessed day and New Year................. Susan Woodrow January 5, 2022 at 5:19 PM thank you, Paula...I get extremely lazy when the weather gets cold ...happy new year to you :)

Brian Sambourne December 22, 2021 at 12:55 PM Ah, yes, to retreat from the cold - preferably with good reads, coffee + sweets. How I relate to this posting! Happy, warm days to you, indoors, as we greet the winter solstice with a shudder. Cheers, Brian Brian Sambourne January 13, 2022 at 5:17 PM Yes, indeed, Susan, add the Kalua, or a little Bailey's. Sometimes we need the comforting warmth of a coffee perk. Cheers, Brian Susan Woodrow December 22, 2021 at 11:35 PM Hi Brian! Indeed...if not for the coffee spiked with sweet Kahlua or an Irish Whiskey, the cold would be unbearable! lol I stayed a full three days indoors and in the end, my back complained about laying around reading so I had to take the dogs for a walk in the rain...warm boots of course hehe Merry Christmas to you :)

Michael Kalavik December 13, 2021 at 5:40 PM You'd profit from a cat on your lap in that scenario, or so I reckon. Susan Woodrow December 13, 2021 at 9:39 PM true except I'd have to worry about a cat-sitter once my hibernation ends as the days warm up again...I get my dose of animal being grandma to two dogs, a cat, and a turtle...I think the dogs will be away with their parents for Christmas and I'll be staying with the other two :)
