Snowday Spent at Home

December 21st, 2008 . by Joyce

Thanks to Geraldine of My Poetic Path for this week’s prompt, a winter’s day.

Quiet days at home;
Snow has fallen, temps still low,
Sharp northeast wind blows.
We keep the wood stove going
As we converse, eat and play.

As snow is blowing
I’m bustling ’round the kitchen
Making fruit dumplings:
My way to make things cozy,
Time for coffee and dessert!

    Enjoyed the idea of routine around winter here – the importance of your endeavours to make it cosy.
    So important.

    Oh … reading your two OSI poems makes me realize how long it’s been since I’ve even checked the page. I need to get back into the habit soon.
