There's a pitter patter
On my window.
Rain.
Frozen drops.
All it takes
Is a little coolness
And the small object
That once brought growth
Is now the bearer
Of destruction.
Rain
Drenches me
And penetrates.
Ice pellets
Break me.
Warm up a bit,
Will you?
On my window.

Warm up a bit,
Will you?

I randomly came across your blog and just thought I'd say "Hi." I love the picture! Great poem, too.
I love it..
the analogy is great...
I sure felt those biting ice pellets today..
biotress - thanks.
david - i miss writing poetry. think i'll do it more often now that I have this blog.
i felt them too. sure wasn't much fun shoveling them afterward.
Wow. Pretty good for a "Bais Yaakov girl" I can use a Pina Colada right about now....;-)
Very deep.
Did anyone notice how that flower in the picture looks like a diamond?
LV - for a bais yaakov girl? How about good compared to anyone?
(good thing my ego's still intact!)
I can use a hot cocoa, actually.
Or maybe some peppermint tea.
I don't really like pina coladas...
:P
prag - interesting. I didn't notice that. more like a diamond in the rough, shall we say.
Great poem and analogy.
I also noticed how the flower kind of looks like a diamond.
Very nice poem and great pic.
lvnsm27 - thanks. I think it's the octagonal/circle stuff floating around that gives it that look.
sw/fm - thanks.
Read your last comment and was about to ask why i didn't get a thank-you... then I noticed my post isn't here. Wonder where it went...
I love a well-fitted analogy. Thanks, Dreamer.
knaidel - I'm too nice to forget a thank you.
aaaaaaaaawwwww...
It probably got caught in the rain and decided not to show.
:P
New York is thawing.
Sharp icicles vanish.
Rivulets of life-giving water
lift away the filth.
Now that I no longer
have to watch my step
so carefully
I am free to look above:
A bright sun beams.
Dreamer- Glad your ego is still intact! Peppermint tea?!
knaidel - nice.
my area's still white and icy.
though my car was almost able to make it out tonite.
:)
LV - yes, peppermint tea. You got a problem with that? Did you ever even TASTE peppermint tea? Awesome when you've got a cold of the sort I had last week. Sort of warms you up and cools you off at the same time.
I have peppermint tea..every night before I go to bed..with 2 squares of dark chocolate..
Noo..I'm not that old..I just like it
lol
