Six Winters

A heat wave in Winter does not a smile make. To be lulled into relaxation would be a mistake. Don't pray for the rain if you fear the storms. Gulf heat greets the cold, and the clouds form. Floods, mudslides, falling trees, and icy roads. Heavy winds and power outages take their toll. Nature's four seasons come with depressing mixtures, to deliver their unique version to all living creatures. A weatherman was heard saying, "Be prepared but not afraid". In Summer's smelting heat, our good friends are trees with shade. In Winter's freezing snow and cold, everything aches and quakes. I survived six Chicago Winters, but my entire being was prone to shake. 011023PSCtest12 Lines of Rhyme - Winter Nature-Themed Poetry Contest, Tania Kitchin |4P
