Question: Would you care to comment on the first sign of winter in Florida!?
Florida Winter
By C!.S!. Scotkin

Where is my sweater
and my real shoes!?
Remember them from last year!?
A startled, shivering dawn
chatters “”winter’s near”!.

I love these cool days
so clear and dry,
Old Sol has become the source,
day’s gentle warmth, so welcome
to snow birds from the North!.

Saw the first true sign
winter’s almost here
Northern license plates everywhere!.
The highways and byways filled,
to escape cold winter air!

Good riddance!. They were lousy drivers up here! Even Paradise has its drawbacks! How long is the line at Golden Corral on a Friday night now!? lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your observation is right on the spot!. The first stanza is a real description that 'd fit in any place!. S1L2 is very spicy! And so is the idea of people migrating along with birds!. I lived in Florida for sometime, I can visualize the scene you 'v drawn!.
Nice read! Www@QuestionHome@Com

What an interesting observation of a changing season! Not birds but migratory cars!.!.!.!.makes a change that!.

I like your 'real' shoes line, we ladies have all got shoes that don't actually act as shoes at all, but simply pretend in that role, until winter comes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love it!. I hope to come to FL this winter; I'm tired and need to rest!. Your poem draws me there!. I hear such cluttered weather reports from my other half that I don't know what it is like!. I do want to be warm!.

Great poem!. t

A large percentage of those snowbirds come through Atlanta too, and y'all are right, they can't drive!. They are much like geese, they have a high mortality rate; not from hunters, but from other snowbirds trying to run them over!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
