That Kind of Cold
That Kind of Cold
October 19, 2008
Sweatshirt
Full skirt
Toe socks
Walk-and-talks
Woolly pants
Bare plants
Beanie caps
Cold snaps
Numbing fingers
Sounds that linger
Smells that don’t
Hurts that won’t
Rudolph’s nose
New wind blows
Sharper air
‘Course I care
Crisp lungs
Pole-stuck tongues
Icy pavement
Such contentment
Frosty windshield
Lips are sealed
Blanketed laughter
Happy ever after
Noises cut night
Just right to write
Silky skies
Grand prize
Sequined stars
Ruby-red Mars
Cricket-cricket
Just the ticket
Truck bed
Raisin bread
Goosebumps
Bass-beat thumps
Street lamps
Re-vamps
Hot tea
You and me
Waiting for cold
That freezes frowns
And leaves you straining
For the sounds
That Echo made us
Way Back When
That’s the cold
Of now
And then
