Poetry to Sustain Us

"Hold On" winter on Lake Michigan by Joel Ellis www.joelellisart.com 

Oh this long, loooong , winter! Even the seed catalogs feel like a fantasy. The wonder is if Spring will actually come. In the middle of a mournful groan over yet another blowing pile of snow in temperatures nudging 0, we received an e-mail from dear friends Ron and Sue, dairy farmers in this cold northland. I’d like to share their gift with you –

Feeling crusted

Check books busted

Don't like the trends

A way to get through

Thoughts of old friends                                           

  

Winter's too long 

Not so strong

don't belong

Need a good song

Before it all ends

Thoughts of old friends

Deal with the mess

Cope with the stress

Need to confess

Life would be less

       Without

Thoughts of old friends

Altogether now: Think Spring!!!!

Thanks you two, our thoughts of old friends do sustain us every day.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by, please take a look at tales of snow (and summer) in our memoir, A Homestead Decade, How Crunchy Granola Changed My Life, Amazon.com Kindle e-books, cheap $2.99.

Love,
