I am not a poet...don't claim that privilege...but this picture of our sky that I took tonight reminded me of this poem I wrote many years ago..it fits this time of melting snow and warmer winds that were such a gift today.
Sun, please come up,
Show a pink smile over
A grey freezing city.
A grey halo engulfs us.
Street lights flicker out,
Startle me alert.
Time to face a winter morning
Finale.
Winter, your time is almost gone.
Make your final peace and leave
Me cold only a few hours more.
Wind-whipped mornings
Chill me on longer.
Sun-warmed days, melting
Snow into memory.
Not quite Spring,
But a close facsimile.
Enough to make me smile,
To feel warmth and hope for
Future days of lazy afternoons
And sweet, watermelon nights.

I thought you said you weren't a poet!
I beg to differ...

You my dear are much too modest by not callin' yourself a poet!!! The poem is just beautiful sweetie!
God bless and have a marvelous Valentine's Day! :o)
I loved your poem, refreshing and pure! I also love the quotes you have on your sidebar, and the picture of the Chief of Surgery! Lovely visiting with you, Yaya.
Aye? You can do poetry!
Happy Valentines!
I bet you wrote that when you lived on Luray and were walking to work every morning!!
This gave me a good lift today. Mr Catch is still away and things are feeling a little wobbly. Lovely poem. Thank you!
What a beautiful poem! You've expressed exactly what I'm feeling.
