The Old Man This Way Comes (poem) by Annabel Sheila on AuthorsDen

He�ll irritate everyone!

With:
icicle fangs
and snow that hangs
on wavelike drifts
In frozen mists
That would freeze a body
Without hot toddy
Better make it two

That conniving old man has already started creeping around these parts, and he's brought rain, fog, cold, and far too much silence at my backyard bird feeder.

In a couple of months comes the tunnel of snow right outside your front door... Summer goes so quickly and winter seems to hang around forever.
Great poem, my friend.

It would be nice, if Mr Ice would drop in during the summer.
Great poem, but it sure does make us appreciate the summers we get, erm, once a decade.

Miss those wonderful descriptions of winter
approaching... I miss the kolidescope of the
Autumn, attired Catskill Mountains.....
Love & Peace be with you

The lyrical bend of this poem depicts a realistic and amusing look at the change of seasons, done so well by one of my favorite poets. Yes, Mister Iceman will soon be here and we will then yearn for spring and autumn to return once again. Great poem with sharply defined wording.

Yes indeed, Anna, loving this beautiful autumn weather. Mr. ice and snow is on his frigid way. You have to put up with the bad to appreciate days such as we are having now. Autumn. I like it better than spring.
