Winter Wrap

During day, to escape the bite of chilling frost People sit close to the hearth burning fuel At night, slide their torso into beds padded tight And wrap themselves in several folds of wool To emerge later from cocoons to butterflies, cool 18- December 2021 Winter Quintain Poetry Contest Sponsor – Francine Roberts

This depiction of slumber and its rejuvenating properties is fantastic. Exceptionally well-done Valsa

You could try men, but my mother says they just roll over and take the quilt with them . . . .

I have two quilts up to now. I need my sleep at my age. Lovely bite size poem. Best for a win. Merry Christmas.

At our age sleep is a must. In winter, in a warm place alone, we get sound sleep. So we need quilts. In our place, December is pleasantly cool, but quilts are not needed. Thank you dear friend ! Have happy times ahead....
