Who? The girl from
this winter? She comes
blowing in and out,
as she’s wont to do.
I’ve seen her when
there’s a chill in the air,
or when it gets dark
before she expects it to.
I see her. Don’t you?
This week the gargleblaster asks, "Do you see her much?"
Spooky and surreal. I am going to close the doors tight this winter ;)

Haha, anything to keep her out!
DeleteI like the riddle aspect of your response. Nice job. I am ready for her to leave!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, aren't we all? Gah. Soon enough.
DeleteI like how you ended this with a question. Thankfully, winter has been mild for us, so I haven't seen (much) of her!
ReplyDeleteLucky!
DeleteHow creative! I love the fact that you ended it with a question, too.
ReplyDelete"gets dark before she expects it to"

ReplyDeleteThe Winter that Won't Quit is providing wayyyyy too much inspiration for poetry. Thanks for reading!
DeleteNice - there's definitely a fantastical feel to this. The girl you describe feels like a creature out of northern mythology. Very cool. (Ha! No pun intended.) Thanks for linking up your gargleblaster!

DeleteOh well in most parts of India,we would love to see more of her and for a longer time ;-)Loved this light -hearted yet dreamlike piece:-)
