L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Winter Doldrums Again

I am slipping into winter doldrums again,
Though I know spring will soon appear
I long for blue skies and flowers to remain,
I am slipping into winter doldrums again
Give me the joys of a warm spring rain
I yearn for spring and summer all year
I am slipping into winter doldrums again,
Though I know spring will soon appear.

I have taken down the sheers in my living room, and I have ditched all the curtains in my house, so that it is flooded with outside light. It's helping. No one can see into my windows that I care about anyway!

Jeff Kyser March 13, 2022 at 6:53 PM Maybe make the uplifting Give me the joys of a warm spring rain the repeat line to help with those doldrums! I'm just being silly, but in my head, I read dol-drums, drums, drums... and hoped it wasn't catching :-) L Milton Hankins March 13, 2022 at 10:18 PM Jeff, you can't ever take me too seriously. And sometimes I just don't get them right! Thanks for the suggestion.

I just wasn't born with an abundance of patience, and I've never learned how to develop it! Thanks for your sweet encouragement.
