Winter Blues

Winter Blues
by Barbara Etlin


We've only just begun
to freeze
White snow and icicles
A slip--Bad luck!--
and you're on your butt
It's only begun...


And at the solstice sun, we sigh
So many icy roads
We'll start out walking then slip and slide
And winter's just begun...


And when vacation comes, we smile
Hop an airplane, farewell to gloom
We'll find a beach where the snows don't go
An end to winter's doom
