THE WINTER WRITER
O season of the lusty winds
Of the storm, the rain, the gale
We welcome thee without fright
For the blistery temperatures low
Invite us to write
And to write... And to write again.
Of seasons past
With reminiscence's warm glow
Of warmer days bereft of snow
We find, to extol the virtues of winter
Is quite all right
For the months of the short day
Follow by the longer night
Invite us to write
And to write... And to write again
Regardless of the chilly winter
Give us paper; Give us pen
Set us at our desk and then
Let us enjoy, let us delight
As those windy, wintry days
Invite us to write
And to write... And to write again
