Momentary Reprieve
Spirit sagging beneath the weight
Of winter’s typical view!
Haven’t seen the sun in weeks
Can’t help but feeling blue!
Not much into outdoor sports
Don’t ski or skate or slide!
At least the cold and icy wind
Can’t reach me here inside!
My spirit is so out of sorts
I’m struggling to hold on!
It’ll be at least another four months
Before winter’s finally gone!
Wait a minute! What is that?
Way up there in the sky!
A tiny little patch of blue
Near blinding to the eye!
Poking through the dreary clouds
Sunshine at last hooray!
On a sparkling vista of snowy white
What a gorgeous winter day!
I’ll get out there and enjoy it,
For short-lived it’ll be I know!
I’ll stroll in winter’s wonderland
Up to my arse in snow!

Lots of fun to read, especially that last line. Love the upbeat tone to this poem. Having a mild winter here, though we did just get a foot of snow. Dogs love it:)
