Robert Frost House – Sign (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Some say the world will end in fire;
some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
to know that for destruction ice
is also great
and would suffice.”
– Robert Frost, 1874-1963

“There’s a blizzard out there!”
gets attention
starts conversation
Weather talk
cuts class, glass
is unpromiscuous
Frosty faces lighten up
stiff mouths open up
eager to share
Weather stories
1940s memories
spin from atop bar stools
In moody climes
I succumb, bulldog-glum
to a glass of wine
On sunshine days
I skip to the yoga place
full of pizzazz
People chatter, natter
claiming
“It’s absolutely boiling darling!”
I sing
aware
they may think I’m bonkers
