February

Winter wears on my patience. Dim dreary days – the grey grinds and grates the spirit. Sleet slushes the street. I don’t even ask for spring. Grant me a blizzard or a biting freeze with inky skies, just something to lift the weariness that has wormed into my mind and paralyzes. 2/12/2018

Yes - I hear you. Last winter I realized how I missed the color YELLOW - color of the sun!

Thank you, Jan. Today it is finally sunny, after so much grey and rain, and I feel like the old "me" has been restored.

Amen, Agnes. I'm in a similar slough of despond, but there is a new shade of blue on the horizon early morn. I hear Spring's hoofbeats, methinks. Woo! A fine write. Viv x

Hey, Agnes. I don't have the time to search out an older poem of yours I have not read yet. Any suggestions? I hope to see a new one soon!!

Thanks, Andrea. I don't know what all you have read of my old ones. I have been rather depressed lately and not been able to write - but today we got to go outside, and I managed to write a poem, which makes me very happy.

Grey, grey go away, don't come back another day! This is so very expressive, Agnes, especially the last stanza. Weather such as this can really get us down. Hope you have a lovely Valentines Day to make up for it:) Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. Sadly, my Valentine's day will be pretty awful because I give an exam to 600 students and will spend the evening grading.

I will take the grey over the blizzard. I HATE having to drive to work in snow. Anyway, I get what you are saying. Great poem, Agnes!

We get sleet and ice here, that's a pain to drive in, too. But the grey makes me depressed, which is why I have not written much in the last few weeks. I need to get outside to soak up nature, so my soul feels alive, and the last weeks were just miserable.

I know exactly what you mean, Agnes. I couldn't have put it better myself.

Thanks, Anne-Lise. I had not thought of looking at it this way :)

A perfect description Agnes, It can drag on with each dark day pretty much the same as the one before and something dramatic like a snowstorm would certainly break the monotony. Regards Tom

Thanks for your visit, Tom. I am struggling with SAD, and most winters do better, but these past weeks have been tough.
