Winter's End

soon we shall all be free
of all upholstered costumes 
and all manners of miners' boots
that infect us with winter edema
and puff us up like flu troubled ostrich
to become angels again
In our cute adidas spikes .

Very nice, Kayod5! I love all the unflattering, puffy descriptions of how we look in Winter, and how Spring will transform us! GL in the contest. Hugs, Sandra
