"heavy mist wrapped like a shawl"; "temp'ratures tapping at the door"; "summer faked with lamps"; "cruise video" --great lines, Karla! See, (I'm sharing a trade secret here, so sshhhhh) these are the kinds of lines I like to grab and stick in a place I call "Lines from a poem unwritten", and then, when I need one of the lines, I "borrow" from my unwritten poem and plug it in where it belongs-- kind of like a toy store, you know-- where some toys wait and wait for the right little girl or boy to come along and purchase it. There's a hole on the shelf for a while, but gradually it gets filled up by more poetic merchandise. Also, you never know when you'll have a drout season, so canning and shelving is not a bad idea... You show your lines off well in this wonderful poem-- a really, super good write. --Charlie

Such talent. Loved this poem.

good write-i like the idea of making our own weather

I like the cold. I'm rather bundled up in layers than sweating my buns off. Nice thought however and that picture... ahhhhhhhhhh I think I might have to have a Mai Tai tonight ;-)

... It's all in the anticipation, Karla! We most certainly DO create our own weather, that is for sure. My little raincloud travels with me if I'm in a grump with the sun for not shining... and as for the neighbour, she usually leaves me in a complete fog...!! Sounds like a night in on the bottle is called for... the Max Factor Tan! (AND the tequila, if you're really partying...) K xx

Sounds like a neat thing to do. Lady J

We had a beautiful hot summer day today...so weatherwise I would say this is a cool write!!

Love Tinka

Well it is pretty cold here in our part of the world but I do look forward to the different seasons, I have to admit. Tahnk you for sharing.

My sister lives in Maine. When I talked to her yesterday I tried not mention it had been 78 here, but she asked. Maine ain't the funnest place to be in the winter.

Karla...you can vacation all year with these kind of temps. What a wonderful solution you've cooked up for yourself!
Love,
Susan

Good story, Karla. I wish it would get cold enough, long enough here in G.P., TX make me want to fake summer. jln

Great. Take your time to surf your thoughts and make your own weather. Your brother Abdi-Noor

You seem to have a handle on it Karla, it is all a state of mind...oh except for the ice covering the midwest this morning...that is only too real

Taking a nice cruise down the old weather vane, eh?

your photo looks so inviting,,,Northern MN was negative 32 this weekend,,burrrrrrrrrrrr I don't mind though, lol I was not there,,,, Nice write,,,

Oh, YUCK! Not your poem, but Mr. Ed below. I'd rather have snow rather than ice; much easier to navigate on snow than ice! Your poem brings warm tropical breezes and margaritas to mind. LOL Very well penned; brava! (I'd rather have the snow...)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin sis, Karen Lynn. :D

A note to Mr. Ed: PLEASE Be careful; don't hurt yourself!

Thoughts of Ice on My Mind! We've been hit with an icy, icy rain. I'd much rather have snow.
