ITS OFFICIAL, WINTER IS HERE

76/365

Don’t be fooled

Even though the sun seems a shine

Icy chills trickled down my spine

Winter arrived in design, unexpected and unwanted

Bawling winds, unforgiving, cut across anyone on the way

And the sun masked with deception,

mischievously shone and teased

Disclosing not a bit of its heat.

Goodbye tanks and twig skirts

Booty shorts and jumpsuits

Away we tuck our sandals and wedges

In exchange for uggs,

heavy coats, scarves and gloves

Now an ice-cold fanta just wont do

Give me a hot cuppa tea maybe two

Sigh… and as the day comes to an end

 here I sit helplessly releasing a smile

hoping the pavement reflects some warmth

and love to penetrate deep to my bones.
