Bitter is this winter day
The winds cut through my skin
These old bones begin to shake
I can feel the cold within
Chattering, my teeth
As they play a musical tune
“Summertime” I hear them say
And it can’t come too soon
Age has taken hold of me
I like the cold no more
So I’ll curl up by the fireplace
Let it warm me to the core
Writing Prompt – Bitter Bones – Day 31/31 ~ And this completes Michelle’s writing prompts for December. Bring on the New Year!

Goodbye twenty seventeen
Your final days, eclipsed
By bitter clouds of snow
Dancing, swirling about
Making us long for the warmth
Of a springtime shower, or
The glow of the sun against
The blue waters of the ocean
Blankets spread out, picnics
And Frisbee, kites flying
And castles built in the sands
Time slips by, again and again
Goodbye twenty seventeen
Memories of you fade quickly
As a new year brings promise
Of much brighter tomorrows

I have never known
where to draw the line
my fantasies, bleed out
from the end of a pencil
onto blank pages
where thoughts spill
without ink, splotches
of words, erased, replaced
then smeared again
by the brush of my hand
or is it my vision, blurring
the existing lines, a verse
left unattended because
I have fallen asleep
into yet another dream

There’s no other feeling like it
In fact, it really is so grand
It’s what I dream of often
Bare toes in the cooling sand
How I love to bury my feet
Knowing the tides and sand combined
Awash with the waves, onto the shore
Leaving traces of goodness behind
I keep these thoughts ever with me
Through the winter, the bitter cold
Knowing I can return once again
To sink my feet into miles of gold
