Winter is scheduled to arrive next week,
I see it marked on the calendar.
Don’t have any celebrations planned,
no gifts, cheers or welcome back signs.
It won't be disappointed I snub its return,
but Fall refusing to leave dressed in the 70’s,
now that’s an insult “old brrr” can’t ignore.

About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

I wish you a foot of snow so you might be really reminded what the word winter means. Good one. Pat.
Brrr! indeed!
Joyce
Brrr! indeed!
Love it Pat!
Great reading...as always!
"Old brrr" has already paid many
visits here!
I kind of like....
Old Man Winter!
Just bundle up Pat!
Margie
you say it !!!!!!!
Good one! Love the last line!:)
I'd guess that winter in Georgia is a different experience than the kind I'm used to! Happy Solstice, Pat!
last season the "old burr" claimed a great portion of both fall's and spring's time here... i guess it's reprisal time...
enjoyed!
:-]
Love it, Pat! Brrrr . . .
KEEP ON GOING, WARM DAYS!!
Supposed to be 70 here tomorrow. :)
love that "dressed in the 70's" smile
even more "retro" than that here - guess old brrr is holing up in scotland before he pays you the full visit :)
nice one
there's a definite shift of seasons here... it turns cold around February... still tomorrow I should be savouring the warmth of the sun on my skin... no brrr for moi... hehehehe
I wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday and hope you are blessed with the best
See you when I get back
lotsa luv ann xxxx
nice one , pat.
i thought you were shoveling snow off your driveway by now. :)
Winter comes in a long white silk gown and parades on the French Rivera...she drinks champagne and listens to Edith Piaf. Here prenom is: Mademoiselle Hiver de la Sud de France
Don, my three years in YOUR region of the world imprinted strong memories. that's why I'm in the South!! Thanks!!
Yes indeed Joyce!!
Margie, ya'll have been visited in all its splendor there. Thank you!!
Janice, ya'll have had your share of it too!!
Thanks Borut!!
Georgia's not known as a
"white wonderland" in Winter. Thanks MB!!
Polona, sounds like a mild start to Winter. Thanks!!
Thanks Kai!!
SB, from your location that's easy to say!! Thanks!!
Andrew, I guess we have a few more dyas and back to the "cold" 50's.
Floots, why don't you corral that booger and raise little herds of Winter magic?? Thank you!!
Ann, have a great holiday!!!
Dsnake, it's a rare thing to be shoveling snow in Georgia unless you're in the mountains. Does happen though, and we're due.
Corey, we must have been typing at the same time. Now that's the best description of how to spend Winter I've ever read. Do you have enough champagne and music for two??
:-) Of course here, the date on the calendar is more like Dec 1. :-)
The great winters have not arrived here yet.
But then we don't have snow here!
Pat, for some reason, I felt this poem was about Aging. And that's a good thing too, that a poem sings for us in whatever mood or perspective we may be. LOL.
I'm slowly and surely slipping into Winter (age) and I noticed I'm still holding onto several items from past decades. Oh yeah! They are vintage now!! ahahaha
But the kewl thing about it is that we get to re-invent ourselves, time and time again. Indeed.
Hey, all the best for you and yours on this Holiday Season and a creative and healthy New Year.
And yeah!!! No harsh winters on South Florida! wooo hooo!!
I just found you, thanks to Corey. Love the description of Fall dressed in the 70s. I'll never look at Fall colors quite the same way again.
