COLD COMFORT

The wind is gusty, rain is cold
and falling down in sheets.
Staying home bound's getting old
( I tire of eating snacks and sweets. )

I usually love the leafless trees
but not on days so wet and dreary,
even the wildlife all agrees
of clouds and cold they're also weary.

But it's warm and dry inside.
I think I'll light a cheery fire
to chase the chill from my child bride.
perhaps to kindle new desire ?

I see where line's intent could be a bit vague so I've changed it. Fell free to drop in or E-mail or PM when ever you feel the urge......stan

Wow, this was great, had a real Robert Frost feel to it.

Much Love,
Elizabeth

Any time somebody compares a work to Frost, I can't help but be pleased.............scribbler

a day that I would stay in too. Especially if I had a child bride! [Not that my bride isn't sometimes child-like! ]
LOL I had visions of a crackling fire with a bearskin rug, and mulled wine. It really sounds good on a day like today, when I am experiencing a cold, rainy day! Unfortunately, I have to go out and do a few errands, but as soon as they are done, I will go home and turn up the heat, by jumping into bed, with visions of your work, and a hot toddy, and maybe even the wife! Great work, ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

I am at a loss as to how my bride manages to remain so young as age beats me like a mule lol. Thanks for the read and comment Geez...................scribbler
