Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather.
The time when the air is crisp and cold, but the snow has not yet fallen- 
when I see an abundance of styles-
wool,
cotton,
fleeces, 
patterns of diamonds, hearts,
and intricate flakes of snow, 
skiers and mountains, 
pale colors, dark, deep colors- even neon, or sometimes pastel-
such a wonderful diversity, I see in sweater weather. 

Sweaters show personalities-
flashy, bold- that person must be confident!
or perhaps detailed,
carefully sown- I guess they have an appreciation of beauty!
Before you even know their name, a persons sweater can tell you so much about someone. 
But that's not all!

Sweaters tell a story-
perhaps one has symbols, patterns- what could they mean?
They are there for a reason, I think...
or maybe pictures that tell a story, 
or even holes ripped in the soft wool, worn from years of age- passed down through generations, I'd assume- I wonder who wore that one- perhaps royalty! 

Sometimes I think that sweaters are like people-
all different,
yet the same in many ways.

  • Momentary

    To be young is to feel the grass growing beneath your feet

    And wander through the woods aimlessly

    To see the little, quiet things unnoticed by all else

    And say,

    I saw something beautiful today.

  • Flurry

    My heart breaks

    For every snowflake

    That twirls down,

    Solitary

    Amongst a gray sky

    It looks lonely, you see

    Not as if I don’t know how that feels.

  • Fallen Tree

    A tree is downed in the forest

    It appears as a skeletal hand resting upon the snow covered floor

    Brown beneath, like ivory rotting away as it ages 

    And pure white on top, bone bleached by the sun.
