poem- slow January 4, 2017

I’m moving through molasses

going slowly,

thinking like my thoughts are spilled ink

too dark to decipher.

Winter weather draws the sky closer,

closeting us in cloud,

so much white is blinding.

Days are short, but oh, so, slow

and cold.

    Sort of like a half-day of school, before a holiday. Every.minute.is.weighted.down.

    Happy New Year! ♡ ☆
    Great poem for winter. It was in the 40s & 50s for the holidays but the temperature are going down to the 30s tonight. Freezing temperature are about to hit New York City.
