Winter is Coming!

Hello, my Friends!
It's been a hot minute....actually it's been pretty cold here...but I haven't written in a while.  Especially poetry.  I mean c'mon.  High school is pretty strenuous, and with all the essay and report writing I've been doing I haven't really been in the mood for fiction and the like.  However, I have a poetry assignment for school, and I rather liked the one I came up with so I figured I'd share it with you all. I was inspired by all this cold weather, and since I've been very cold today, I thought it was perfect. :)  Like usual, I hope you enjoy today's morsel!

Winter is Coming
As fall fades and winter comes,
Everything is shriveled and dead, except the mums.
Their bright pop of color is cheerful on a gloomy day
When nothing else is happy that way.
Their bravery to face the cold
Almost has me sold.
But alas, to go outside is a mistake
Least Father sends you with a rake.
You can expect giant blisters on your hands,
Very capable of ruining your plans.
Although you wear a scarf and hood
Just as any sane person would,
Jack Frost cannot be denied a visit.
Agh!  And just when you think you have cried explicit,
Once again a wind rushes in behind.
Oh, how I wish I could rewind.
Back to the vivid, vivacious days of spring.
No one needs the coldness winter brings.

Sincerely,
~TheNerdInGlasses~
