Navigating Winter

Winter’s captain, pompously struts his stuff, then breaking tempo, alters the autumn rhythm; slower pace is dominant, leaf dance dwindles; nature's in rest mode. Trees and bushes blanketed white by snowfall, caps and gloves with heavier coats required now, cabin fever, fidgety boredom, proves our need of the sun's heat. Shov’ling driveways, icicles dripping vex us, tempers rise, thermometers plummet; hope says spring is under climate’s control, so learn to navigate winter.
