L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Monitoring the Thermostat

Temperatures have plummeted for November,
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting
Snow is expected, normally, not until December,
Temperatures have plummeted for November
My fireplace is a-glow with hot ash and ember
I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting
Temperatures have plummeted for November
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting.

Caren Krutsinger November 17, 2022 at 12:53 PM Your suspicions are "spot on" "I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting" L Milton Hankins November 17, 2022 at 1:54 PM Our first snow arrived last night. At midnight the ground was covered, but it melted before morning. Many people didn't even get to see it because it happened after they went to bed and was gone before they got up.

John Lawless November 16, 2022 at 4:54 AM does that include the "mental and emotional" thermostatic rise as the price of heating the place soars...??? Methinks we may have a harsh winter to balance the torrid summer and reach a happy medium overall L Milton Hankins November 16, 2022 at 8:40 AM Thanks for your thoughtful observation and comment, John.

Harry Horsman November 15, 2022 at 9:25 PM An ordinary thing to do, Milt. although the cold seems early this year. Yet to create a wonderful poem, out of it all, is masterful. Best of wishes to you. my friend. Harry L Milton Hankins November 15, 2022 at 9:35 PM Thanks so much, harry. It's always good to hear what you think and to read your comments.
