The theme for this weekend is Brrrr Cold! Did I mention that this season in Virginia is looking like a New York winter? It is cozy indoors right now but late this afternoon snowstorm #4 or is it 5 comes my way? To prepare for another white blast, I join the Poetry Sisters' challenge, “poetry inspired by something overheard.”
Since most people are not out and about in this very cold weather, I turn to the internet for quotes and thoughts about winter in preparation for my Winter's Embrace 2022 Gallery of Artistic Expressions. I also read a mentor text by Susan Thomsen who created several found poems based on overheard conversations. Check out Susan's link here.

Bundle Up, It's Cold Outside
Baby, it's cold outside.
Snow flurries swirl around
people's legs like house cats.
Nothing burns like the cold. It's
cold and cruel, to begin with,
but it's somehow beautiful,
sparkling like a million little suns
making our feet and fingers glow.
I wonder if the snow
loves the trees and fields
that it kisses them so gently?
Winter is the time for comfort.
Take the cold seriously.
The snow is coming!
