A short poem of gratitude for your comfort on cold nights.
A brief thank you for being there for me on early morning dog walks.
A tiny appreciation for your willingness to engage in March.
A bit of recognition that you don't demand washing after every use.
A small hope that warmer days are ahead, and we can soon bid each other adieu.*
* I wasn't sure how to spell adieu, so Googled it and learned:
"Adieu is not a French goodbye to be taken lightly or used often. It is highly formal, and it has a sense of finality. Steer clear of this one unless you never plan on seeing the person again or one of you is on your death bed."
I would like my silk long johns to re-engage with me next November or thereabouts, but I do love how it ends the poem.

Thanks for your poem. I'm also hoping to be done with the cold-weather gear soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a discovery about adieu! I was not aware. And silk long johns may be in my future since you have spoken of them so lovingly here.
