DMC: "Dear Cold" by Elizabeth Steinglass




Dear Cold,

It’s time for you to go—
you, and your friend, the snow.
We’re all sick to death
of your miserable breath.
So please, take your wind
                                       and blow!
 
Sincerely,
The Daffodils

RSVP with your poem to TodaysLittleDitty (at) gmail (dot) com, or use the contact form in the sidebar to the right. All contributions will be included in a wrap-up celebration this Friday, February 27th, and one lucky participant will win a personalized copy of David's delightful new collection of bird poetry:

    Thanks for starting off my day right, Liz! So funny. So true. Lesson learned: don't mess with daffodils in a huff!

    I think the daffodils speak for all of us (two mornings of minus 20 degrees F is two too many.) Thanks for the smile, Liz.

    Hahahahahahaha! I live in California and miss the winter. I'm an old Minnesota gal. But this poem just cracked me up. Thanks!
