Winter Skin - Summer Skin

Winter Skin/ Summer Skin


Winter Skin

cap on head
Rudolph-nosed; my cheeks
rosy red


Summer Skin

my suntan lotion
like rivulets of warm butter
drips from me

Ah yes. Winter skin itches and is chapped and red. Summer skin is warm and brown and feels good because of all the suntan lotion. Of course sometimes we do burn and then it's no paradise either. Good stuff here Andrea. God Bless, JB

That's quite a mix. I have stopped swimming because I can never put lotion on my back.
