19 Degrees of Separation (poem) by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner on AuthorsDen

Karla, cold weather never befriended me either -- it has been quite cold here in Delaware also -- mid to low thirties for daytime highs, about ten to fifteen degrees colder than the norm -- I am vacationing if Florida later this winter -- can't wait to get out of the frigid clime for while -- it is the global warming I guess? -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

19 degrees wots dat in Celsius. We are snowed in for the first time in 30 years.
Never realised Texas got cold, you gotta find a hunk so he can chop you firewood.

Crunching snow, frost, ice is a delightful sound. Top poetry...

Love the way you captured this one... especially the idea of giving human life characteristics to the earth and to breathe...well done indeed.

Actually I do live where it's warm...in Los Angeles. And it's like summer here. The weather is gorgeous. But, I grew up in NY. Know the cold all too well. Glad I left. Love this line right here: "The ground protests my weight upon its broken back with loud crunching sounds."

Great, great word picture. I have three words--dress in layers--three more syllables--stay inside.

Good job,

Five o'clock this morning as I was walking my mutt in twenty-something degree weather I had a thought. Do I really need a dog? Twenty-something degree weather in the deep south will make you stop and wonder about things such as that. Good wordplay here . . .

Wow! That picture looks mighty cold and your wonderful descriptions confirm it. I love the first stanza: cyrstal blue plate of sky, ground protests, crunching sounds. Nice pen, Karla.
