She was not ready
to awaken from slumber
so she rolled over
pulling up her white covers
snuggling in a while longer

Though I wrote this Tanka poem as a metaphor for winter, it aptly described my own lack of motivation yesterday morning as a snow day allowed me a bit more cuddle time.
Enter my caffeine infused world of laughter and sarcasm.

What a beautiful piece filled with imagery.
I love the personification of winter here and love how it serves two purposes: to describe Winter and to describe just how you were feeling. A beautiful poem, Paula. Let’s all help roll her out of bed, hand her a packed suitcase, and wave goodbye. She has overstayed her visit!
I love how your winter has its own personality. I am envious of your snow day! Glad you got to stay in and cuddle!
Waiting anxiously

Extra cuddle time is the best. Most of us feel the same way. Thanks for another great poem.
