Cold Foggy Days
These cold foggy days
I hate em
It’s the kind of cold
That goes right to your
Bones
Freezes them
Chills them
Ices them
Makes you
Crazy
But this is where I live
And sometimes
It’s cold and foggy
And I have to
Go on and do
What must be done
I just have to wear
Lot of clothes
To do them
I think we did have spring
One day last week
It got almost warm
And almost bearable
But I blinked
And I missed it
And then it got cold and foggy

Have you been staying some where near where I live Marilyn, cause you have just described out=r weather. Lol. No I must admit we don't have fog as much as we used to and they say that is because very few of us burn coal for heating any more. Excellent prose, and I can relate to that even though it is a while back. Wonderful image to go with it as well. Bravo!!!!!
I know exactly how you feel in this excellent poem. At long last the cold East winds from Europe have stopped blowing here and Spring has truly arrived. Since I can [at the moment] only blink with one eye I have high hopes I won't miss it! Mike
wonderful words created a smile beautiful image sweet sunshine to you warm hug, Linda
Great words Marilyn, very true! its really warm here right now, not too hot, just right, but it never lasts for long in this country!
like alan says we have to make the most of our few days and like i said this morning we are on a roll ,tomorrow has to fine again aswell :o)..excellent writing as always marilyn mick
Very well written! I love your post worked ocean!!! and try to keep warm please :-) Cheers
In contrast to your situation, Marilyn, pocket or blanket fog is a rarity around these parts, and I make it a point to rush out into the streets with my camera to capture the eerie ambiance of it all. Great subject matter, and it actually isn't that cold or even windy. Plus, the fog usually burns off my late morning. Anyway, fine prose in the heartfelt presentation of your climate. Good photo also.
Funny...I'm going in reverse here. I just read the repost and edit and NOW I am reading this one. Figures...it's just like me to go retrograde. At any rate, I like both versions of this...both hold the same easy-going conversational tone that works perfectly with what you write...it's a distinct part of your style, your voice and it works wonderfully! Your writing is so accessable and evocative in a great and direct way. I love that in writing...kinda like straight shooting from the hip.
I've been comparing these side-by-side, and can't decide which I like better. They both have a certain something, but different from each other. I like the last line "and then it got cold and foggy" in this one, but not so much in the other one. Heck - I don't even know which one to comment on! And I'm doing this while you're waiting for me on IM! I'm losing my mind - it's like talking to you three times at once!
Wonderful poetry full of harmony and beauty.Fantastic work. Superbly done!! Congratulations!! A million stars********** Sorry to have that to write the same thing in English to all, but are few the words that I have in English to say,I´ speak Spanish. Thanks you very much for you comments.Happy day. Hug and kiss in Your heart.Luminous blesing.Ludy
Been like that here on the East Coast the past day. Temps only in the 50s and rainy. I love the photo capture.
