Whew, today’s unexpected chilled wind
Made a mockery out of both spring
And fall in their changing off the guard-like
Waning and waxing in the rhythmic circadian
Nature of Nature’s revolving canvassing.
In frosty goosebump fashion, it appeared as if
Impatient, ole man winter, decided to give the day
An early “trick or treat” tease of what will later come.
And being treatless in preparation, my cringing
Cold nose is now filled with dripping sniffles.
Just imagine, fall has yet to canvas the carpeting
Of the ground with falling leaves of crucifixion
To allegorically remind us of the need to be prepared
For what will be falling upon us when winter comes.
Is ole man winter trying to be teasingly prophetic?!
