it has been
a dark sodden winter
spring is coming just a week away
i dedicate my tea pot to the blue sky
to the black swans and geese in the park
to sunshine and summer
on the beach
i love the picture... winnie the pooh always makes me smile... such a cute little poem too!! some people find winters gloomy but i dont ... i love wearing socks and snuggling up near fires in woolly blankets :)
oh winter you're creeping up on us you come too soon leave summer alone i'm not ready for the cold and the storms you bring pray leave the peace and the warmth with me just a little longer oh winter
I worry that the sentiment be a bit psillanimous with Pooh offering up his teapot. It would extole more confidence had he offered his honeypot . . . Lovely to read regardless. xxx
nice....ha...i also tried a triquain today :)
ReplyDeleteHow my memory was jolted by the word "Sodden". That took me back 50 years or so when it was popular as a swear word in the UK! Did Pooh say that?
ReplyDeleteSodden means saturated or soaked. But you knew that already! Pooh said Sod off !
DeleteOh.. Yes here the chill of autumn speaks of last outdoor eating.. Of long evenings inside..
ReplyDeleteDon't know how you survive that kind of cold. To think entire populations survive it holds a type of fascination for me. I could not survive it.
DeleteOh...you have it all to come stilll...
ReplyDeleteWe've already had thwo weeks of November weather here.
No complaints. Our winter with the exception of a few cold days has been relatively mild. Have hardly used heating at all.
DeleteIt is always wonderful to anticipate the springs of one's life!
ReplyDeleteHa...just the Spring in one's weather zone will do thanks!
DeleteMay you reap great rewards for your dedication! ;)

Thank you. The black swans and the geese owe me big time:)
DeleteI am envious of your approaching summer ~ Our summer here was been colder than usual and so short ~
ReplyDeleteA fine dedication. I stand with you and Pooh, though my year is in reverse ...
ReplyDeleteI think reverse seasons probably have a personality impact:)
DeleteSweet! Love Poo... sorta wraps this wonderful together <3
