Cold, dark, wet, grey.
Drawing curtains in the afternoon,
Later dawns and shorter days.
Icy hands, feet, ears, toes.
Wrapping up warm, layers on layers,
Nasty cold and runny noses.
Sleet, hail, ice, snow.
Doing your best to not slip on,
Icy paths and slippy roads.
Stews, roasts, curry, hotpots.
Drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream,
Comfort eating and getting fat(ter)
Blue skies, low sun, frosty morns.
Seeing your breath in the chilly air,
Beauty in frost and all it freezes.
Cold, dark, wet, grey.
Wishing I was a squirrel, hedgehog or bear,
Hibernating and dreaming of summer.
Sums up winter quite beautifully. I could almost like the season again. 😉 X #ThePrompt
Thank you, if we really have to do it again I want a really good spring and summer first 😉
What a nice simple poem which conveys so much, I agree it sums up winter so well. I wish I could hibernate too!
Thank you, I really would just like to wrap up in my fleecy blanket and stop indoors!
I’ve never been a huge fan of winter and hibernation always appealed to me 🙂 I really love how much you have managed to capture here, the good and the bad. Lovely poem. Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt x
Thank you Sara, I’m not a fan, although sometimes I take a minute to try and see the beauty in it! Roll on summer for me xx
Lovel post! It’s actually Summer on my side of the world and you’ve made me both look forward to and dread winter 😄 #theprompt
I must admit Winter is my least favourite season! I much prefer summer x
