Winter nudge

minnesota. cbslocal. com

December slip-throw
slowly
sleet into slit
of my sanity

the old tires  - in a trunk
the notches are low,
though weight is fine
for balance show

it saved me while turned
as a dancing car/cow,
pursuing the will,
crouched in a line

‘whenever you go –
take your time’, -
radio 88.5 fm says, -
‘but better – stay home…’
winter calamity.

    Stay home is the way to be, but one has to work, so hard to do so

    Whew, so true....if a person can stay home they should. The weather out there is brutal! Nicely penned, Humbird!

    Sometimes it is better to stay at home. It is pity that there is no snow anywhere in close proximity here. :-)
    Well-penned. :-)

    Such a fatigue in this. I feel the drag of yet another foray into cold and drudgery. Yeah, I can feel that too.

    I'm so glad i don't have to go anywhere right now. Not that it's all that slick out, but all the roads a are white-topped. Makes for slow going.

    I like this. Simple, with details. Something about it reminds me of my grandfather, the directness, the caution? Thanks for this.

    staying at home in winter storm is the best..to be somewhere warm and comfortable. I always hated driving in the snow, it takes forever.
