january day

single gunshot pierces cold air
male pheasant flashes rusty breast

pick random crumbs off floor
remember how to spell vacuum

sugar cookie sleigh ride’s last tea bag
weak flavored cup tastes lukewarm

blizzard stops work, traffic, schools
livestock stamp, huddle, steam

gather groceries, essentials, clothing
hope to travel to warmer climes

mundane asymmetry of cabin fever

_______

A list/catalogue poem of 11 lines, while sipping Celestial Season’s.

    What kind of tea are you having? Sugar cookie sleigh ride? I’ve never tried that one. I enjoy the Lemon Lift. Is this not for the dVerse prompt? I noticed the 11.
