Winter In Miami

Wake up to the 60's in Miami, northern folks praying for the sun
Ice-cold winds cutting, bundle up like it’s a blizzard snowbirds make fun
Nip of Cuban coffee to stay warm, sit around the fire to warm our hands
The frosty chill of a winter night, decide to run along the beach sands
Evening walks on lincoln road on south beach icy breeze blowing
Runny nose, watery eyes as the whipping wind flowing

Icy cold mornings, hot afternoons chill evening flows
Northern snowbirds travel to Miami to escape blast of snows

Miami an international city with a short winter season
In depth of holidays flip-flops, shorts, bikinis; sunscreen is the reason
A sweater and shorts complete a chilly night
Miami skyline on a winter night is breathless in its own right
International cuisine dinner on south beach while cool tropical evening

It can't be TOO cold, compared to UTAH. GREAT job with your acrostic for this fun contest, Patrice.

A beautiful painting. Although, I've not been to Miami, you've taken me there to see the icy colds through the well crafted lines. Well penned, Patrice.
