Puffy Purple Parka

Puffy Purple Parka ©JKForward, 2022

Snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils
Struggling up through frozen dirt
Winter’s end.
I am not sad to say goodbye to slush and sleet, minus zero, dark mornings,
wet boots, cold feet, fogged-up glasses perched on scarf.
But oh, warm puffy purple parka!
I will miss you and your camouflage
for no bra.
