What the wind says to me.
The promise of cold comes in a howl
Hot days long gone make my mood foul
Endless drifts of snow blown about my town

Why does the winter wind come around?
Intermittently, 'tween seasons of warmth
Never bringing heat when it comes from the North
Don't get caught outside when I come, it warns

Says the wind, "put plastic on your windows"
And I do, but it's cold when this wind blows!
Yes, but the seasons bid me to come with
Snow and frost to make mercury plummet

Whispers on the wind bring promises of cold
I tell it to stop but it says "No!
No! I won't, I can't I'm just too old
To stop bringing the promised snow
Every winter I howl and storm; the
Reason I can't quit: It's become my norm
