Wind, cutting and biting, as
I walk from Bennett to Stevenson.
Nose dripping, feet tripping on branches
That met their demise in the ice storm.
Everything piling up at once: dental bills,
Radiator needed for car, midterm exams--
Quit! 2009, you've been sucking so far... but
Underneath the slush and ice and muddy snow
Are spring flowers and green grass
Ready to re-emerge.
Think you can hold out until then?
End of Winter Quarter is in sight. Hang in there.
Remember to breathe, to smile, to enjoy a moment of silence...

What a lovely surprise indeed to open up to this morning, Brandi. Sigh. I feel all warm, fuzzy, and, yes, even hopeful.
Thank you.
Fabulous, encouraging, lovely. Thanks, Brandi.
^_^ Glad you guys liked it! Acrostic poems are so fun. They're--for me, at least--the simplest form of poetry, yet they're always fun and a quick source of poetic therapy.
