Wild Pitch

Winter’s timing

Of course, never exact

Latest Arctic blast

Forecast sometimes hijacked

 

Sunshine shows up

Mirage of comfy time

Wind roars from true north

Car battery’s downtime

 

Sunset’s curtain

Darkness shrouded in cold

Sky’s icy moonlight

Furnace remote-controlled

 

Layer of quilts

Pulled from hiding place

Frozen toes thaw out

Warmth flows, cozy embrace

 

Morning arrives

Winter throws its wild pitch

Freezing air remains

Long-forgotten, spring’s itch
