Warm Winter

By underthebelljar

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A strange season Winter and warm Put out the logs Lit prematurely Awake sweaty and Too weak to throw Blankets to the floor Take a walk Temperature rising Inside a turtleneck Watching men in shorts Wash their cars With reindeers and Santa Decorating their lawn This day last year It was snowing here Did the world stop spinning While I was in my room? Seasons went still Maybe Winter overslept And it'll be here in SpringIt's about 80 degrees outside in December...something's wrong with this picture, it's usually 40 here.
