Oh, Jared, Jared, what can I say? I live in Southern California where it's 65 degrees F today. I do remember though the tough winters of my childhood back in Bucharest/Romania. Brrrrr!!!! Winter has its charm as long as it's not toooo loooong. Keep warm, my friend :) Thank you for your comments.

Random, but full of imagery, which is what i look for most in poetry, Jared. Good job on your double acrostics. Hey, I didn't mean "shame" to be depressing! It was just my "take" on how I see it affecting people. I love psychology. Andrea

Sounds very cold and uncomfortable from your descriptive verse penned here but the comfor of home sounds exceptional. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara
