Winter Comes Uninvited


















The piercing cold cuts through the walls
ice forms on plants and windshields.

After the initial shock from this uninvited guest
who brings with it slush and other messes

comes the dark days and freezing nights.
For those of us who love the sunshine

the season becomes unbearably long.
The few moments of joy captured

in the snow or cuddled by the fire
doesn't make it any more inviting.
