No objection to cold weather, but...
ah jest wanna boomerang
back into the womb
versus being threatened
courtesy beastie boy gang
beating me to a pulp
after accurately discerning
being scared less pang
suddenly imagining myself
buffered, and buttressed
within zen Sibyl
prophet table Chinese philosophy
known as Yin and Yang.
No matter birth canal

Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It takes ten minutes
to dawn coat and gloves
scarves and boots and woolen caps
earmuffs and face masks
Pry open the frozen door
and step outside
wait thirty seconds for the dog to pee
and run back into the house

Brothas and Cold Weather Don't Mix
You don't always hear me complain.
I love the warm sun, the summer rain:
The springtime flowers and the autumn leaves;
But when winter arrives, unfortunately I start to freeze.
I like it when the temperature is 40 degrees,
And not when the snow is halfway to my knees.
Now I don't mean to sound snooty.
When I slip on the ice

Cold Weather Joys
The winter brings short, frigid days,
but we can find so much to praise
when sun’s bright and the redbird sings.
Short, frigid days, the winter brings.
December’s here with plans in tow
for Christmas feasts, tree lights that glow,
cantatas, carols, fireside cheer.
With plans in tow, December’s here.
On New Year’s Day,

Cold Weather
Cold morning announces fall is here
I layer my clothing carefully,
Stashing away everything sheer,
Recognize some greet it with glee
Already enough cold weather for me!
We’ll still have some warm days
And I’ll attempt to dress accordingly
This time of the year has its ways
Fluctuating temperatures churlishly
I’ll try to dress most sportingly.
So hard for me to put my shorts away
Until

The constant chill is getting old.

This winter Reich.
Oh sweet Jesus,
Please unfreeze us.

Cold Weather
There is a special fragrance in the air.
The weather is so cold and chilled.
To stand in my balcony I still have dare.
The intensity of cold however makes me thrilled.
The fog is all around.
With watery droplets my balcony is filled.
The air is blowing with a cold waves sound.
I am breathing but it feels I am breathing

That's Winter To Me
When autumn leaves on tree branches disappear
And chilly winds spoil outdoor fun
The warmth of a fireplace beckons me to draw near
That’s winter to me.
When snowflakes blanket streets with a hush,
And snowplows, cars, shovels and rubber soles
Leave tracks and generate dirty slush
That’s winter to me.
When mercury drops bitter cold penetrates my bones
And I act to prevent

Strange Cold Weather
This is strange weather
For the Spring season
The whole sky is coated
grey
A wind is blowing cold
Tiny snowflakes falling
As it coats the ground
The grass a gray green
As fast as it falls-it melts
Only to begin again
The deck with white snow
Spreading outward fast
People walking their dogs
Wearing winter coats
It has been like
