WINTER

old folks
warmly dressed
out with rakes and hoes
try to inveigle
a new spring

Oh Merry Christmas to you, Daver!! I am writing a new poem about the fog? Not foggy here today; were're supposed to have a snow blast on Christmas day.:( Going to need many "rakes and hoes" to dig out Spring. Oh, someone said I use a lot of commas,,,I think they're cute, like pollywogs waiting to turn into frogs. Bong, bounce, more bongs and bounces. Keep well and stay warm! Love you, Mikki
