Poem: Enough I Say

Enough I Say

Okay winter, you’ve finally won,

 I’m in a bad mood,

I look out the window

At more fresh snow

And shudder from the cold,

You’ve won,

That’s right,

You’ve succeeded

In knocking me out,

A one-two punch

To the gut,

Are you satisfied?

Do you have no shame?

Bringing cold and snow

In the middle of March,

It’s unseemly even for you,

It’s not enough to begin your fun

In November?

We humans need a break,

There’s big stuff here on earth

We can’t control,

And then you have to add your part,

Enough I say,

Go away for awhile,

Rest up,

Plot next year’s weather disasters,

We’ve had it with you!

I admit defeat – for now,

But not next year,

You’ll see!
