12.29.21 Wintertide XVII (Poetry)

It’s that time of the year again. Since 2004, I’ve written this poem annually to do a check on the state of affairs of myself during the holiday season. Here’s this year’s version. It’s “Wintertide XVII” from my poetry book for Oct-Dec 2021, ‘Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.’ Have a wonderful holiday! -BB

“Wintertide XVII” by Brian Bolding

Winter washes over

And I’m on tumble dry

It’s snowing somewhere but never here

Just windy and cold on high

New seasons bring new change

If you open your heart to it

Winter washes over

No better way to do it

Looking forward to my next

Incarnation or outlook

One things for certain

I’m never a fully read book.
