Oh, Winter it is time for you to put away your white coat, and to roll up your tattered blanket once so beautiful; time for me to put away my cozy comforter; and my red toboggan still dwelling lonely on the porch. The fireplace is cold and neglected now, and the gingerbread cookies have been eaten except one; my ice skates are of no use with no ice on which to skate, and the Christmas poinsettia once lovely is looking real droopy. I am ready Winter- to pack away all my winter clothes; and have removed the winter wreath from my front door! ____________________________________ May 14, 2019 Poetry/Verse/Oh, Winter Copyright Protected, ID 19-1144-124-02 All Rights Reserved.

Congratulations Dear Heart, on your third place win! Winter was right there before me in every tangible line and you made me enjoy it, even making it go away with a wreath.

Nicely done: Winter objectified, and more than that---the sad backward glances, still longing a bit, as it is left behind. G.L. in the contest! :) gw

There is a melancholy feel to saying goodbye to the winter season that is profoundly stressed Constance. I feel the same way when I have to put all of the Christmas decorations away. With the Christmas cards all gone and the tree, my house feels so naked. This is a real gem my friend! : ) xxoo
