Winter's Coat

Winter's coat 

   is not yet fastened.

As I catch myself 

   yearning for 

the buds of Spring.

Here in Michigan, Winter left for a week. Me and the grandchildren went to the beach. 75 degrees days and sunny. A miracle for Michigan. We took the jackets off the grandchildren enjoyed the Indian Summer in November. I hope for more. Thank you dear Annette for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Same here it has been in the 70's I love this weather. But I am drowning in leaves.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too. Poor nature is confused. I am not complaining. I will return to the lake dear Cherrie.

a sweet, delicate write. wow, someone is already thinking spring before winter has even taken hold. love the coat metaphor. here in greater boston we had several inches of snow on the day before thanksgiving, now in the seventies - who'd have thought? fall certainly is transitory. nice work amd remember to zip up ... :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

Will fo :) we are hanging on to an Indian summer, but that can't last forever.

Its snowing right now where I live. I love your opening line. Few words can say so much and paint the landscape. A soothing read. Nice work Cherrie

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Duff, no snow here very mild weather. I am knee Deep in leaves .
I love trying to find ways to convey nature and its seasons.

autumn feel of longer comfort that ensues one's soul. Simple words yet takes you somewhere where some seasons can be uncomfortable and the coldness of winter especially when it starts. To say, the poem praises autumn, describing its abundance, harvest, and transition into winter, and uses intense, sensuous imagery to elevate the fleeting beauty of the moment. I felt the theme deeply here. Keep writing sincerely your friend in writing and life

[Cherrie Palmer]

What a beautiful review thank you so much.

Perfect metaphor, Cherrie....
so perfect.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you I love finding ways to describe the seasons. Never know where it might end up.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh I so relate to this lovely neat little expressive poem Cherrie. I HATE winter myself. You capture the sentiment in this very finely.

[Cherrie Palmer]

:) thank you John, I enjoy the seasons Winter included, but I do love the beauty of Spring.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I'll tell you, I read a poem about Spring, and this popped in my head.
