A slight pull to my hat
I set out of the door
With a rude kick to my face,
The breezy chill awakens me,
Sending a harsh shiver down
Sumptuously dressed in layers,
I ready myself for the freeze,
Winter snuck up on me, uninvited!

it just doesn't snow here.
but I love the cold!
it may be cold but once you are "sumptuously dressed in layers" it is that snug, delicious, warmth that negates the cold. Good job getting the senses responding in so few words.
ReplyDeleteGood one, i could see the winter creeping up too.Dressed in layers...sounded warm and felt protected.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the words!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO and I think we must be neighbors!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think Illyria has it right, sounds like home to me.
ReplyDeleteI felt this in the morning as I left the house - and then again now as I read your post! Well done.
