Colleen’s Poetry Challenge – Poet’s Choice of Words, Chill & Hot
“It’s the first of the month and poets get to choose their own words!” – Colleen Chesebro


Chill
Winter
Thunder storm
Gusty wind blasts
Snaps exposed tree limbs
Endless streams splash puddles
Muddy rain water splatters
Under squeaky vehicles
No desire to fight no-win battle
Sit by the fire sipping hot chocolate

This is so nice, Miriam. It is so hot here that hot chocolate feels like a distant dream.

Yes, Robbie. I have to remember our seasons are opposite, same as between here an Australia. Have an ice cream then…

So wonderful, Miriam! Maybe I need to start taking Colleen’s challenges. I think I might just do that… You’ve inspired me, and I need a bit of a challenge now anyway! As always, blessings to you!

Thank you. Yes, Jonathan, she recommends many poem forms except free verse. I’m okay with that! Have a wonderful weekend!

That last line is the clincher. When there’s no beating the weather, go for the chocolate!
