A Minute Poem
If Only by June Sargent
Minute Poetry writing prompt entry

If only I could hibernate -
rejuvenate
beneath the snow
as cold winds blow

Like planted bulbs that lie so deep,
enjoying sleep
'til warmth of spring
cause birds to sing

Emancipated from deep freeze
by gentle breeze
I'd chase the sun
when winter's done!
