Winter Blues

Blurred speech, stalled hands and feet, and wintry winter walking is not a treat. A great place to visit family on a nice retreat. Hardened and freezing bones, short days or long, life goes on. It was so cold, I could hardly walk. So cold, I could barely talk. So cold, but nothing seemed to halt. So cold, my whole body would shake. My ears ached as if they would break. New York City never sleeps; Chicago never stops. In dead of winter, State Street consumers continue to shop. A great place to meet nice people and go to school. I will not live there again, lest I catch Chicago's winter blues. Chilly winters, aching ears, crying eyes, and runny nose. A beautiful place, but what's sad is a Chicago winter cold. Gloves, thermal socks, thermal underwear, and ear muffs' a must. Walk away from the curb or get splashed with icy snow by street bus. Hop on a train or bus, head to your job in the loop, but never fuss. Those clearing streets are the ones you can really trust. 01032018 PS entered 2nd Contest, Stunner in January 2018, 3P;PS Contest, Winter Blues, Laura Loo, NA
