Although most of the country is enduring a heat wave at present, my muse opted for cooler temperatures. It’s my birthday today, and this is my present to share!

Happy Birthday. Many happy returns in all seasons. I feel the romance flowing in this poem. Some lovers like snuggling and staying warm in the cold Winter's months. Nothing like taking that bitter chill away.

Down and down should be spelled differently, like to, and too, and two... or wind and wind... l am glad I'm reading this in the summertime. I want to come back to it in a few months when the cold winds blow down the canyons, and the snow gathers at my door, to really appreciate it.

It will be here before you know it. May it read just as eloquent for you. Take care, my friend!
Happy birthday, Kelly, Elegant wording here; really evoked the spirit of winter. But because while I was out today and saw a dog chasing a cat AND THEY WERE BOTH WALKING, I just couldn't get into the spirit of it.
This has me dreading the season's change with winter my least favourite, cold, wet, dark, dreary...what to like.
The avatar of the poor wee bird bent against the elements gets you to thinking as we always assume birds/animals are born to cope, perhaps not.
Belated 40th(!!) birthday wishes Kelly, hope you are well.

Thank you for your sympathetic ear, Gordon!
