The Bottom Line For my fellow New Englanders! Leave a comment and let me know which you liked, or hated!

Winter Chain Reaction

The car I follow
Cleans windshield, wipers washing
Now I must clean, too.


Ode to De-icer

Melts ice off windshield
Quickly! Artificially!
Should I wash my hand?


Winter Static

I take off my coat
I reach for the door handle
Ouch! Another shock.


Ode to 16 degrees (not including wind chill)

I can’t feel my face
Are you sure I still have one?
Fine, I believe you.


Cyptic Degrees

If it feels like two,
Why say its nineteen but it
Feels like two? It’s two!


Driving

You’re really too close
To the car in front of you.
Black ice, and you’re f*cked.


Overeager Snowplow

Such a waste of time
Plowing the road tonight- but-
the sparks sure are grand!



Morning Mistake

I should not have tried
To clean my windshield just yet…
Spiderweb of ice.


Chapped

Today, I smiled,
happy about something, and
my lip split in two.


Warm in Bed

Please, just let me sleep!
Tell me that its Saturday?
Fine, I’ll call in sick!


Dragon Legs

My once silky legs
Itch and crack, missing summer.
Why bother shaving?


My Hero

Every night he lets
Me stick freezing feet on him.
Because he loves me.
