Winter Blues
by Kelly F. Barr

Frigid winds
Chill me to the bone.
Dreary, overcast days
And days of snow —
Its beauty only lasts so long.

Eager for spring;
My heart sank
As spring’s first two days
Brought the biggest blanket of white
Of the year.

I long for sunshine and warmth
To turn my S.A.D.ness
Into gladness
And to, again, find my motivation.
