Dear Weather Goddess

.
Oh NO NO
It's way too much snow
.
I want it to go
.
come on, you must know
.
it's about time to show
.
little flowers that grow.
.
After all I've been patient
..
All this ice is now ancient!
.
Yes I'm complaining;
.
My whine is refraining
.
I want brown and green
.
No more snow on this scene.
.
What will it take
.
for a weather remake?
.
I deserve a warm break
.
Sanity's at stake!
.
I'm down on my knees
.
shouting please dammit please!
.
Start with the sun
.
and when that's done
.
melt all that snow:
.
yeah, where will it go?
.
I know I should care
.
but to be perfectly fair
.
I'm worse for the wear
.
I just want hot air!!!
.
.
.
Call it magical thinking
.

I seem to be winking

.
toward anything sinking

this miserable linking
.
of snow with my mood.
.
Really, I don't like to brood
.
But I'd whine if I felt
.
the snow would just melt.
.
One little bud
.
is too much to desire?
.
Blow in with a thud
.
Your ecclesiastical attire!
.
Postscript: anytime in February is too early for this poem or lament.
However, at this point I don't give a sweet damn. :^)

  4. Are you sure you're not secretly moved to Canada or Alaska?
    Is this a normal amount of snow in February in your part of the world? Of course you are whining and swearing. Poor you!

  5. Hey kj where is that hearty Yankee spirit? That if you can tax it we can dump it attitude? What's that you say...? Could you speak up a bit, your voice is muffled under all that snow.

  6. i'm thinking one more good sized blizzard would be okay.


    hahahaha!!! NO freaking way! If I see one more snowflake I think I'll snap. Thank goodness last night was mostly rain before snow. Nothing to shovel this morning, but slippery footing.

    We're doing a day trip today. I get to look at other artist's work and then stop for a nice bowl of clam chowder ;)

    Stay warm, popcorn!

    xoxo
    Lo♥

  9. lovelovelove this poem -- so enjoyable to read (great rhyming scheme!) and ends on such a powerful note - a paean to the weather goddess indeed that she better well heed......

    oh god you've got me going now with the rhymes ;-)

    but i really love that 'blow in with a thud, your ecclesiastical attire'

    what inspiration! bravo kj♡

  12. Oh, no! You sound like Jack Nicholson gettig ready to pick up his axe in The Shining! (He just couldn't take all the snow in Colorado anymore.)
    I really believe the beginnings of spring should be in February like in some parts of the States. And we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow! Yikes!
    Love,
    Margaret

  16. An epic poem! I am hoping spring comes to your area soon. Although, if it does not you might wind up writing the great American novel about winter weather. ;)
    Come over to my blog to see a quicky video of the totality of our snow this winter. Quite a difference...

  17. dear kj,
    as soon as i had
    my time in the snow
    i asked it to
    go go go!

    i am sorry you've had
    enough, i can only imagine.
    i can see how you'd yearn for
    spring when you live in the snow.

    but it still can't be all that
    bad when it inspires
    such fabulous poetry
    from you.

    with love,
    lori

    if i were to write
    the color would be white
    white white white then grey
    until more snow
    brings white again today


    cs, as if i have a choice! :)

    lori
    i'm glad that the snow
    came and did not go
    until you were able
    to experience the fable
    of white all around
    town.

  22. This snow is just too much!
    I have also reached a point where I am so fed up with winter!
    And we don't even have that freaking amount of snow here!
    I understand you are done with it.
    Just hold on dear!

    Warm hugs from here
