Winter Be Gone

Winter, when you first arrived,you were such a treat! How You teased our hearts; you never missed a beat! The children reveled in your promise of snow And at first sign of flurries little faces came aglow Come nights, they were tucked in bed warm and tight While you squarely laid your carpet of pure white You hung icicles for garlands as you trimmed the trees As snowmen and angels guarded the streets While I’m grateful for each visit this time of year Boredom's now settled in; there’s no more room here How I yearn for bright sunshine; to walk bare feet in the house! O, winter, be gone! Spring fever is roused. ~*~ 01/23/13

Pretty soon we're going to wish for those snowy days, Robert....today it seems we've skipped spring and landed in summer at 80 degrees on the east coast....

wowie, this one is super great!!! You personifed winter in a really cute way and then showed how boring it becomes. I used personification in mine as well but made him to be a cold old man! Love yours.
