A day of rain,
grey skies and
low temps.

Not cold enough
to turn rain
into snow

required
to build
an igloo.

Some nights
it seems I
have more words

than ideas
to put down
on paper.

Lots to write
about, nothing
to write with.

Sometimes my body
wants to
take a break.

fall asleep
on a
comfy couch.

Other times
my dog wants
to play fetch.
