Whether Report

whether report

on the first day of December
wind howled
banshee death screams
wuthering at windows
whiteouts shroud the cabin
from a cumbersome world
cold clambers up the steps
creeps under my front door
settles in my soul

I must leave.

This poem chills on layered levels of thought, Pat. Very cool introspective write. Good mental exercise. Ty for the workout. Lovely poem. Love and joy always.

Within a year or less I went from living in Toronto in a town house to living in a cottage, on a road with only one other couple a ways down the road. There were no street lights so at night it was dark! My husband worked 3 shifts so every 3 weeks i was alone except for two small dogs. I had some things to get used to, thank you for reading and commenting.

A chilling pen in such poetic ways, the title titillating, brief, crisp, fantastic. xomo!

I remember that night it was my moment of truth. Truth was I was freezing my derrier. Not just the pen chilled that night
