Too Much Ice

I like the humor of your ending line, Hilda--though it is quite real given the storm and cold that you so eloquently describe. Had fun reading your poem--we have cold but no snow yet.

I enjoyed reading this relatable poem, with its touches of humor, Hilda. Why fight the weather? The poem's ending was delightful. :)

On days like those its best to stay home, I enjoyed the read

Too cute Hilda and who can blame you for calling in. There are times I don't want to fac the bitter cold either. God Bless and a much blessed new year. JB.

I am happy to be led to this today. I can relate to this poem. You described it well! :)

Such a fun write, and the last line nailed it. Oddly, so far the only ice in southern New England is in our cups; cheering the holidays!

Sorry that someone isn't scraping that window and getting your car running for you Hilda. That used to be one of my favorite things to do for neighbors and for the ladies at my office that didn't have someone to do it for them. With that red nose, you may have needed a sick day anyway. Hope all is well now. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Reminds me of winters in northern Ontario. Thanks for your visit and comment.

Hilda, First and foremost, I’d like to thank you for your flattering comments on Yet I Cling. Your specific words of praise are a spur to my future endeavours. Too Much Ice scores highly on all parameters. Wry humour, persistence, excellent scene depiction using an economy of language and superb flow. Howard

Ah the reality of winter days, when its all icy, i can understand why you would call your boss and call in sick, i would have too, very descriptive and very well articulated , i absolutely love reading your work always. Sending you light always. Hope christmas went well.

One of the many reasons I do so love my remote car starter. Some days though I would love to just stay in bed and not go out at all. This sounds like one of those days, Nice job here. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB

Yep, that's why I moved from New York to Phoenix. Gave me a smile of Christmas' past. Blessings my friend.

Ha, ha! Welcome to winter. Clever penning, Hilda. Merry Xmas. :) gw

Hilda, your writing is amazing. I felt nostalgic for those cold days thanks to your writings. I don't like snowy or slippery roads, so starting the car was difficult. Unfortunately, I dislike winter.

Phenomenal write. You made me shiver recalling cold days in Chicago’s winter. Car starts were problematic with a Fiat 600! Good humor, too you express. I stayed home, also, and watched the snowflakes cover people, Cars and Lake Michigan. There was no nternet then. So, magic happened..lol We actually called our friends and heard a human voice. I miss that! Keyboard strokes cannot replace the human voice ,nor emotions. No matter how ell written. Merry Christmas, Pangie
