Not Quite Spring Cleaning

By: Charles Giuliano - Feb 14, 2016

Valentine

Dead of winter
Hunkered down
Record cold
Wind chill
25 below
Instant frostbite
Mid February
Wicked weather
In the Berkshires
Annual beard
Since the Holidays
Mountain Man
A guy thing
Shaggy faced
Like Santa Claus
She said
With an edge
Valentine's Day
Cleaned the face
Neat and trim
With love
Best I can give
Being as how
We live
Nowadays
You look younger
She said
Smiling and pleased
With words
Going to my head
Astrid steady on
Always there
For me
Thick and thin
Hanging in
Some early
Spring cleaning
Wool sheared
Not just sheep
While flowers
Sleep
