Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Winter Itch

a winter sun plays hide and seek
odd shadows chill my bones
reminding me of annual constraints
i crave to escape instinctively

a caged animal an inmate
itching for the taste of freedom
i feel a desperate panic
seeking latitude by longitude

An urge for trekking cruising
globetrotting and jetsetting
a deeper innate hankering
to recharge spent batteries

Timothy Mcguire December 28, 2018 at 1:01 AM Miss Line. Your poems are so well written that often I am speechless on comments. Many times I enjoy them is silence because I don't want my words to spoil them. Line Gauthier December 28, 2018 at 6:28 AM Thanks for your lovely compliment, Timothy.

Carole Duet December 26, 2018 at 9:34 PM Wow, Line! This is such a wonderfully "chilling" poem...and yet warm at the same time. I can see you pacing a cold floor waiting for the sunshine to reappear and recharge your "batteries". lol Chill out, Line! lol Have a nice glass of wine. :D Line Gauthier December 26, 2018 at 10:04 PM LOL maybe hot mulled wine! Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Carole.
