Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

Overcast Skies

This cold winter rain makes me lazy.
I miss the warm sunshine of fall.
All I want to do is to rest.
It seems I've no energy at all.

I long for the coming of spring
When my spirit and the earth are reborn.
For the drab winter weather saddens me
And leaves me feeling forlorn.

This season has barely begun
And I'm already wishing it gone.
I miss the clear skies above
And the bird's chatter greeting the dawn.

Winter can be so depressing,
Especially when you're alone.
The rain, the snow and the cold, cold wind
Leaves me feeling weary to the bone.

I count the days till it's over
And the spring arrives at last.
Three more months is a long, long time
To live life with skies overcast.

James Fraser December 4, 2010 at 9:36 AM It's a marvel of the body or self when the seasons can dictate your mood. You have expressed this with this fine poem Francine >> James :)
