Let's see you do better-a poetry challenge
It’s been near 70 here for a couple of days.
Brought to mind a hot summer’s haze.
Now it’s plummeted down to near thirty
And feels more like fall, but not near as purty.
After a blazing July and August, coolness is welcome,
But we didn’t have summer yet, just barely a taste.
Now this crazy weather makes us feel, well, numb.
So let’s urge on the season: c’mon summer—make haste!
(So what if the meter is all wrong—
The rhyme still works in this song.)

What are you complaining about
I think you should scream and shout
I'm writing this so you will know
when I look outside all I see is snow.
With that I'll say I've done my part.
Please do take my words to heart.
I can't even rhyme,
I don't have the time.
But weather forecast today
said we'd be getting snow, and nay-
it's not a flurry to come
but 2 to 4 inches and some.
It's so windy and cold.
Aches make me feel old and -
pain in my joints hinder me...
how I long to be that bird in the cage
who sings loudly and just about being set free...
But freedom comes when the wind does not blow
When there is nothing to dream of, just ice and snow....
When joy disappears
and life fills with tears - that - take me to longing
and calling -
for ....
wind that will blow
like a madman and move me
I can't stay here
Bravo, all!
We should do this more often. Rebecca-yours was beautiful! Put me to shame. KT and Tink--will winter ever end?
It's 12:30 and my eyes are half open, I bet I would have been really creative had I popped in here 8 hours ago. Argh!
