Winter Blues

Winter Blues A cold chill filled the air. A frost lay on the grass. I didn't see the ice and fell upon my ass. I stood up very slowly, with many huffs and groans, my whole attention focused on the aching in my bones. Some think the season's lovely, with snowball fights and such, until it's time to shovel, then they don't like it much! Next year will be much different, at least from where I stand. I'm moving to Miami, and working on my tan! Gary S. Watkins 11/09/2015 Write me a Winter Poem – Poetry Contest

Thank you, Casarah. The nice thing about Colorado is that you can enjoy the snow one day and have the sunshine back the next, so it seldom gets me down.

Thank you, Lin. It was a slow night at work and I was amusing myself. Now that we're expecting 5" of snow in the next day, it doesn't seem quite so funny to me.
