Notes About The Poem

Beach memories on Illustration Served

- Snow, No Thanks -

Carl was tired of winter's sharp wars
Heartless and without love, even indoors
"I'm too old to shovel snow"
He bet everything ... woe
Rio de Janeiro he adores

Lol, Carl sounds like a wise man indeed, Rio seems a much better option then shovelling snow....Maria :) xxx
