Anna Hopper Poet Free verse

Winter Blues

Another year has begun
And I am not having fun
I long for the summer
And the warmth of the sun

I hibernate 
this time of year
I’ve gained weight
From Christmas cheer

Somewhere north
Snow is falling
But here, in Georgia
Ice is thawing

I look around
There’s only death 
No leaves, or flowers
I see my breath

Good thing I have my muse
I write a rhyme, to pass the time
I have the winter blues
